Ingredients
- 20 oz. pineapple 1 can, crushed, drained very well
- 30 oz. mandarin oranges 2 cans, drained well
- 3 oz. orange gelatin mix package, unprepared
- 16 oz. cottage cheese
- ½ cup sweetened coconut flakes
- 8 oz. Cool Whip
- maraschino cherries to garnish
Instructions
- Place the crushed pineapple in a strainer and drain out the pineapple juice. Pineapple retains a lot of liquid, which needs to be eliminated as much as possible so that leftover fruit salad doesn’t become watery. Use a spoon and press down on the crushed pineapple to squeeze out more juice, toss and repeat several times. Transfer the crushed pineapple to paper towels to allow a little more moisture to be absorbed.
- Use the same strainer to drain the mandarin oranges, don’t use a spoon to press down on them, these strain more easily. Place the oranges on a paper towel as well.
- Mix the orange jello, cottage cheese, and coconut flakes until well combined. Use a silicone spatula and gently mix in the drained pineapple and oranges. Finally, gently mix in the Cool Whip.
- Transfer the fruit salad to a large serving bowl, or several portion-sized bowls or glasses. Garnish with maraschino cherries and chill until ready to serve.
