Comments on "Mandarin Orange Cottage Cheese Salad"

I have been making this salad for over 20 years. Our neighborhood had a Memorial Day Cookout every year. This salad is requested and expected. It goes great with smoked ribs and pulled pork.

I could never stand eating just cottage cheese and peaches like some people but this salad is deliciously sweet and is like eating dessert without the guilt.

This is so delicious. It might not sound good but it is! I forgot about this salad and I am so glad to have remembered it!

Love, love this salad. The thought of cottage cheese was not appealing; however, by the time you add everything in, it is delicious. I add chopped pecans on top for something extra. Delicious!
