That's the more technical name I suppose but our family always called it "Cottage cheese Jell-O" and everyone knew what it was. My great grandma Pearl made this recipe and most times when it was made it was for a holiday meal. I still enjoy this dish when my mom makes it for Easter or Thanksgiving.
There are many other lime cottage cheese salad recipes floating around that have pineapple, whipped topping, and/or mayonnaise as added ingredients. In fact I came upon a wild spin off of it on a vintage ad site. It called for vinegar and grated onion as added ingredients and was set into a round mold. After the gelatin set, the center was filled with seafood salad. Thanks great grandma for not making it that way! If you'd like to see the ad with the recipe, scroll on down to the bottom!

Believe it or not, I have never had cottage cheese, but looks interesting that you mixed with Jello here and might need to try soon. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so delicious and refreshing. Lime jello is one of my favorites and I do enjoy making retro desserts. I used to make something similar with strawberry jello many years ago. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Definitely a great spring and summer treat.
ReplyDeleteI have never had this so I am quite intrigued and it looks so yummy! Perfect for spring!
