GARDEN FRESH COTTAGE CHEESE SALAD



Garden Fresh Cottage Cheese Salad image

This recipe has been in the family for decades. You can use whatever type cottage cheese you prefer-though regular or 2% turns out best-the same goes for the curd as we have used both large and small- I suppose large curd may provide a creamier salad. Cooking time is chill time.
