PECAN COTTAGE CHEESE SALAD

This recipe is from a lady who was a friend of my mother's many years ago.

1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chopped pecans
2 cups crushed pineapple, drained--reserve 1/4 cup juice
1/4 cup hot pineapple juice
2 cups cottage cheese
1 tbsp unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup whipped cream

Combine the celery, bell pepper, salt, and pecans together; set aside. Soften the unflavored gelatin in the 1/4 cup of water for 5 minutes; add the hot pineapple juice and stir until gelatin is dissolved. Stir in the pineapple and allow to cool. Mix the cottage cheese, mayonnaise and powdered sugar together in a large bowl; fold in the whipped cream. Add the celery mixture, mixing in well. Stir in the gelatin mixture and chill until firm.
