Orange Fluff Cottage Cheese Salad

This is not the jello fluff salad that is super thick. That version blends the cottage cheese and powdered Jello together. I call this version Sloppy Salad because well, it’s sloppy, in a good way.

This Jello Salad combines prepared orange Jello, mandarin oranges, cottage cheese, whipped topping and marshmallows. If you prefer you can blend the cottage cheese smooth to make the consistency a bit creamier. But we like all the different soft textures.

Also, this dish is best when made shortly before serving. The salad gets even sloppier after being refrigerated for a couple days.
