Thanks To Dena  for this Thrifty Light recipe:

My kids love what they call “pink salad”. It’s quick, easy, cheap to make & works well with a low carb diet. Use the following: (1) small box of your favorite sugar free jello mix, (1) 16oz tub of low fat cottage cheese & (1) 16 oz tub of fat free cool whip. Mix them all together & enjoy. Our favorite is Strawberry & we usually cut up fresh strawberries & throw them in as well. Another combo we like is Orange with mandarin oranges.
