In a serving dish (casserole), mix a large box of dry Jello mix with a Large container of SMALL curd cottage cheese. Mix thoroughly until jello is dissolved. Fold in large container of Cool Whip. Blend thoroughly. Chill thoroughly. Garnish with mint leaves or mandarine orange slices. This recipe is also great with PEACH jello. A combination of peach and orange is also another alternative (a small box of each). If you make the peach salad, you can add a can of crushed pineapple (DRAINED) for a fruity salad.
