Lime-Cottage Cheese Salad

Another recipe for this yummy "salad" which is really a dessert masquerading as a side dish. Can't remember where I got this...

• 1 large Cool-Whip
• 12-oz. cottage cheese
• 1 package lime jello
• 1 20-oz. can crushed pineapple, drained
• 1 can mandarin oranges, drained
• 1 c. chopped pecans, optional
• 1 c. mini marshmallows

Mix first 3 ingredients. Add rest and chill!
