COTTAGE CHEESE-MANDARIN ORANGE SALAD

This is a recipe from an old Southern Indiana church. I remember my mother loved this salad, but dad didn't like it very much.  To please herself and not hear him asking why she made it, she would make it to take to pitch-ins at family dinners and church meals.

1 large container cottage cheese
1 large box orange gelatin
1 large can crushed pineapple, drained
1 can Mandarin oranges, drained
1 small carton frozen whipped topping, thawed

In a large bowl, mix the cottage cheese and dry gelatin together. Add the pineapple and oranges and blend in. Gently fold in the whipped topping. Chill all day or overnight.

Garnish with 2 or 3 Mandarin orange slices and a mint leaf, if desired.
