Fluffy Fruit Salad

 My husband begs for this salad when we have BBQ.  I still haven't decided how well I tolerated the cottage cheese and Cool Whip, but it was delicious!

Serves 4

8 oz Whipped Topping, thawed
3 oz flavored gelatin powder 
8 oz Cottage Cheese
2 cups fruit, drianed (canned Fruit Cocktail, mandarin oranges, bananas)
1/2 Apple, chopped

Fold ingredients together.  Chill until served.

Notes:
Tropical Punch or Dark Cherry, or some other more complicated flavor add a lot to this dish.  I enjoy the crunch of apples and the texture of the cottage cheese.  The whipped topping has casein in it, which is technically one of the proteins in cow milk.  I am still experimenting with it.  Another option would be whipping cold coconut milk or marshmallow cream.  Fold gently, mix just a few ingredients, in order, one at a time until almost combined.
