Salad Ingredients

8 oz frozen whipped topping, thawed
3 oz package raspberry gelatin mix (powdered)
16 oz 4% fat cottage cheese (small or large curd)
2 cups fresh raspberries
1 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

Mix whipped topping and gelatin powder: In a large bowl, combine the thawed frozen whipped topping and raspberry gelatin powder. Stir well until the two ingredients are fully blended to create a smooth, consistent base.
Add cottage cheese, raspberries, and marshmallows: Gently fold in the cottage cheese, fresh raspberries, and mini marshmallows into the whipped topping mixture. Be careful not to overmix to keep the fluff texture intact and raspberries from breaking too much.
Chill and serve: You can serve this salad immediately, but it’s best to cover it and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Chilling enhances the flavor melding and allows the gelatin to set slightly for a better texture before serving.

Notes

This salad works well as a refreshing dessert or a sweet side dish for potlucks and picnics.
Fresh raspberries are preferred for the best flavor and texture, but frozen raspberries thawed can be used if fresh are not available.
Adjust the amount of mini marshmallows to your sweetness preference.
For a lower fat version, consider using low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese, though it may slightly alter the creaminess.
Make sure the whipped topping is fully thawed before mixing to avoid lumps.
