How to Make Ginger's Pineapple Cottage Cheese Lime Jello Salad

  1. Prepare the lime gelatin according to package directions, using slightly less water than recommended (about 1/4 cup less than directed).
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons white vinegar until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gently fold the mayonnaise mixture into the partially set jello (once it starts to thicken, but is still pourable).
  4. Add 1 (14-ounce) can of crushed pineapple, drained, and 2 cups of cottage cheese. Gently fold until evenly distributed.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger for an extra zing.
  6. Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 8x8 inch baking dish or similar sized container.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set.
