Step 1

Drain pineapple and mandarin oranges in a colander. Place colander over a bowl and set aside for at least 1 hour. TIP: For a shortcut, drain for 30 minutes and pour fruit onto a paper towel-lined plate. Blot gently on top with another paper towel. If desired, set aside some fruit for a garnish.

Step 2

In a large bowl stir together cottage cheese with orange jello. Gently fold in Cool Whip and well-drained fruit.

Step 3

Garnish with reserved fruit, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
