My grandma would make this salad for Thanksgiving and Christmas every year and everyone in the family loved. My mom, and aunts make it now. We all still love it. I thought, I would share the recipe.

1 pt cottage cheese
1/2 c. chopped pecans or English walnuts
2 boxes of Lime jello ( 13 oz) or 1 lg. box
1 c pineapple juice, if not enough to make 1 cup add water
1/2 pt. whipped cream or 1 pkg Dream whip, whipped ( you could use cool whip)
2 cups of mini marshmallows
Mix jello using 1 cup hot water plus 2 cups cold water. Add pinapple juice and marshmallows. Chill in refrigerator. After chilled until just thick, whip slightly.
Fold in pineapple, nuts, cottage cheese, and whipped cream. Put in 13x 9 inch pan. Refrigerate till it sets up. Serve and enjoy.
