LIME COTTAGE CHEESE SALAD A/K/A "GREEN GUNK"
This is a holiday tradition for my husband's family. I'm told the recipe comes from his great-aunt. While I was quite skeptical after hearing the list of ingredients, they blend wonderfully for a delicious "salad". I have affectionately named it "Green Gunk" because that's what it looks like! My hubby's family fights over the leftovers. Prep time doesn't include chilling time, so plan ahead...I've been instructed by my hubby's family that this is best made the night before serving.

Steps:
- Drain the pineapple very well (if there is any liquid left in the pineapple, the salad won't set up correctly); save the pineapple juice.
- Add enough water to the reserved pineapple juice to make 2 cups of liquid; place in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Place jello in a large mixing bowl and pour boiling pineapple juice over jello. Stir until fully dissolved.
- Place bowl in an ice bath for several minutes, then refrigerate until jello reaches honey consistency (DO NOT let it set up firm).
- While waiting on jello to reach proper consistency, whip whipping cream until peaks form.
- Also, while waiting on jello, in another bowl, combine cottage cheese, marshmallows, pecans, and pineapple and mix well.
- When jello reaches proper consistency, remove from refrigerator and whip until light and fluffy and about doubled in size.
- Fold cottage cheese mixture into jello.
- Fold whipped cream into jello mixture.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour, preferably overnight.
- Refrigerate leftovers (there won't be any!).

Other than boil the water I would let my children make this. It was a thrill to them when it was served to say 'I made that". Light and refreshing and very easy to make.

- 3. Add pineapple. Chill until slightly thickened.
- 4. Fold in cottage cheese and whipping cream.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh limes. Bottled lime juice can be substituted, but it will not have the same bright, citrusy flavor.
- If you don't have cottage cheese, you can substitute ricotta cheese or Greek yogurt.
- Be sure to drain the cottage cheese well before adding it to the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Add other vegetables to the salad, such as chopped cucumber, celery, or bell pepper.
- For a more flavorful salad, marinate the vegetables in the lime dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.
