Step 1
Place the cottage cheese in a food processor and pulse it until it becomes smooth and creamy. This step is optional, but I find it gives the jello salad a nice texture, especially for those who aren't a fan of chunky cottage cheese.
Step 2
In a large bowl, stir together the strawberry jello and cottage cheese. Next, add the crushed pineapple and stir to combine.
Step 3
Add the cool whip and gently fold it into the cottage cheese mixture– you don’t want to deflate the cool whip too much, so make sure to stir gently.
Step 4
If you have time, allowing the jello salad to rest in the fridge before serving will help the flavors meld, but if you’re in a rush, serve it as is.
Step 5
Garnish with sliced strawberries, and enjoy.
