- Hey, friends.
It's Shawn with iwashyoudry.com.
And today, we are going to be making
this incredible Orange Fluff Salad.
It's light and fluffy, with a super unique texture
that you are going to love.
Trust me on this.
I originally got this recipe from a friend,
and I was smitten at first taste, and I just had to have it.
So here it is.
This is what we're doing.
All you need is five ingredients.
Let me show you how easy this is to make.
So, we are going to start with eight ounces of whipped topping,
and you need to make sure its thawed,
as well as three ounces of orange Jell-O mix,
just the powder.
Now, this is the non sugar-free blend.
So if you wanted to use sugar-free,
just use the smaller package of the sugar-free Jell-O.
But we're just going to add the gelatin mixture straight,
to that whipped topping.
And then we're going to stir this until it's all combined.
Now, this would be great with all sorts of flavors.
You can do pineapple, strawberry, mixed berry.
There is just so many different variations to this recipe.
And I'm sure you've tried it at a potluck or a party before,
and wondered to yourself, "How can I make that?"
"That is so good."
Here you go, this is it,
Just so, so simple.
(upbeat music)
All right.
Now, before you run away after this next ingredient,
you have to trust me on this.
I know it sounds bizarre and weird,
but yes, we are going to add in cottage cheese. (laughs)
So I am using a small curd.
You can also use a large curd,
and we're just going to use 16 ounces of cottage cheese,
so about two cups.
We're going to add that right in here.
And trust me, I know it sounds totally bizarre,
but it really, really gives
this unique salad its amazing texture.
It is so good.
Trust me, trust me.
Don't run away.
It is so good.
'Kay, so we're folding that cottage cheese in,
and then we are going to use
one 14-ounce can of mandarin oranges.
And I've drained them,
and we're just going to add that right in there,
as well as one cup of mini-marshmallows.
Now, I know a lot of people
don't usually put mini-marshmallows in there.
I love it.
I love how it gives it that chewy, little texture to it.
So we're just going to fold this all together.
And this salad is so fantastic
to take to parties or potlucks,
perfect for a cookout.
Oh, my gosh, you are going to love it.
It is so addicting.
It's one of those things that...
You know, it's definitely, I would say a dessert,
but it's called a salad. (laughs)
I don't know why, (laughs)
but it's good.
We love it.
Okay, and that's it, you guys.
That's it.
That's all you have to do, mix it all together.
You can refrigerate it,
and store it until you are ready to enjoy it,
or you can enjoy it right away.
And that's what we're going to do right now. (chuckles)
So, we're just going to put some in this bowl.
It's so light and fluffy.
Look at that.
This would be great with, like I said,
all sorts of different flavors.
Pineapple is another popular one.
'Kay, let's give it a try.
I'm so excited.
Let me try to get a little bit of everything in there,
an orange, some marshmallow, cottage cheese.
(clicks tongue) So good.
Mm.
Mm!
Oh, my gosh, you guys.
This just reminds me of summertime. (chuckles)
I love it so much.
I cannot wait for you to give this a try.
