Easy Elegant Cottage Cheese and Pineapple Salad image

Individual servings of a very colorful starter or attractive salad on the side which can be made ahead of time. Super easy for a beginner cook and good for you too! Before you think, eeks, mayonnaise, give it a try, it works really well. Of course you could omit the mayonnaise if you prefer. When we were kids my mom used to make this for us for lunch or for salad at dinner and we all loved it! :)

I love that this salad is so versatile. You can easily add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I often add some chopped ham or turkey for a protein boost.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I often make it the night before a party or potluck. It's one less thing to worry about on the day of the event. Plus, the flavors meld together even better overnight.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover pineapple. I often have some leftover from making pineapple upside-down cake. This salad is a great way to use it up and avoid waste.

I'm not a huge fan of cottage cheese, but I really enjoyed this salad. The pineapple and walnuts helped to offset the tanginess of the cottage cheese. I would definitely make it again.

I was skeptical about the cottage cheese at first, but I was pleasantly surprised. It added a nice creamy texture without being too overpowering. The sweetness of the pineapple and the crunch of the celery and walnuts balanced it out perfectly.
