Divinity Salad

"What I love about this jello-based salad is that it's not too sweet. Like the name implies, it is a "heavenly" accompaniment to everything else on your plate. If you like pina coladas, you'll love this salad. I think it got the name because it looks like a bowlful of divinity candy once it has set up (note that it needs to be refrigerated 12-24 hours before serving). I hope you enjoy this family favorite!"

directions

  • Dissolve the jello, salt and sugar in the boiling water. Place in the fridge and let cool for about 5 minutes.
  • While jello mixture is cooling, whip the whipping cream using a mixer on high speed. The whipped cream is ready when it thickens and peaks. Be careful not to over whip.
  • Add the following to the jello mixture: cottage cheese, pineapple, mayo and nuts. Mix well.
  • Now gently fold the whipped cream into the jello mixture. This will make the mixture very light and fluffy.
  • Pour into a pretty presentation bowl.
  • For a nice presentation at holiday time, garnish with the maraschino cherries and a sprig of parsley to look like holly berries.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 12-24 hours.

I've been retired since 2008 and absolutely enjoy life to the fullest. I don't consider myself a good cook but there are a few things that I make well. Those are represented by the recipes I've shared here. My husband and I just celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary. We are blessed with a daughter and a son, and I LOVE having one of each. It's always made life very interesting. I hope you enjoy my culinary offerings.
