How to Make Lime Cottage Cheese Salad A K A Green Gunk
- Drain one (20 ounce) can of pineapple chunks very well, reserving the juice.
- Add enough water to the reserved pineapple juice to make 2 cups of liquid.
- Place the pineapple juice mixture in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- In a large mixing bowl, empty one (3 ounce) package of lime-flavored gelatin.
- Pour the boiling pineapple juice over the gelatin and stir until completely dissolved.
- Place the bowl in an ice bath for several minutes, then refrigerate until the gelatin reaches a honey-like consistency (about 30-45 minutes).
- While the gelatin chills, whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, combine 16 ounces of cottage cheese, 10 ounces of mini marshmallows, 1/2 cup of chopped pecans, and the drained pineapple chunks. Mix well.
- Once the gelatin has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the refrigerator and beat with a mixer until light, fluffy, and approximately doubled in volume.
- Gently fold the cottage cheese mixture into the whipped gelatin.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to blend and the salad to set completely.
- Refrigerate leftovers.
