Orange Crush Delight

Once a week in our local newspaper, the kid's section always posts a recipe. Last week, I saw this one and it sounded good for the upcoming hot weather. I made it this morning and had it for lunch. Larry wouldn't touch it; but, I really liked it.

Orange Crush Delight
1 (16 oz.) container low-fat small-curd cottage cheese
1 (3 oz.) small box orange gelatin mix ( sugar free can also be used)
4 ounces light whipped topping
1 ( 10.5 or 11 oz.) can mandarin oranges, drained

Mix the cottage cheese with the orange gelatin mix. Fold in the whipped topping and stir gently to blend. Add the mandarin oranges and stir to mix. Chill for one hour before serving.

This is very light, but filling. It was hard not to eat the cottage cheese plain with the mandarin oranges added; but, this seems more like a light dessert with the whipped topping and gelatin added.
