I remember growing up thinking cottage cheese and congealed type salads were disgusting until I actually tried this. We always had it with strawberry Jello though. I don't like cherry. So glad I found this with all the right proportions. I had lost the recipe. Very good I'd say even if you don't like cottage cheese OR congealed salads! It's not the prettiest thing either.

This recipe is reminscent of a jello salad my mother made every year at Thanksgiving and Christmas, except her recipe called for 2 pkgs of 3oz. Jell o. 1 pkg of lemon and one pkg of lime jello. Her recipe called for 8oz of cream cheese softened instead of cottsge cheese. Personally I like your pink cloud salad recipe better than my mom's recipe. I used one pkg. Of lime jello so Ibguess I made a green cloud salad. Just delicious and yummy enough to serve as a light desert.
