How to Make Pink Molded Salad

  1. Drain the pineapple, reserving 1 cup of juice. Add enough water to the juice to measure 2 cups total liquid.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the 2 cups of pineapple liquid and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
  3. Remove from heat and add 1 (3 ounce) package of strawberry gelatin and 1 cup mini marshmallows. Stir until completely dissolved.
  4. Pour mixture into a large bowl and chill in the refrigerator until it begins to thicken, but is still pourable (about 30-45 minutes).
  5. Gently stir in 1 (15 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained, and 1 (15 ounce) container of cottage cheese.
  6. Fold in 8 ounces of Cool Whip (or 1 cup freshly whipped heavy cream).
  7. Pour mixture into a 6-cup mold (such as a ring mold or bundt pan).
  8. Refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the salad to fully set.
