Preparation

Step 1

Instructions:
Dissolve gelatin in 1 cup boiling water, then add the drained pineapple juice. Chill until slightly thickened, then beat until frothy.

In a large bowl, using a hand-held mixer, cream together the pineapple, celery, cottage cheese, cream cheese, and mayonnaise. Fold in the gelatin mixture, then mix on low speed to blend everything together.  Pour into mold and chill until firm, preferably overnight.

Once chilled, invert onto a plate and serve. Refrigerate any leftovers.
Additional Notes:
Brush a very thin layer of oil inside the mold before filling for an easier time getting the molded salad out.
