Banana Split Cottage Cheese Salad

Drain pineapple. Toss banana in a little lemon juice to prevent browning if you like.

In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese, drained pineapple and dry gelatin. Fold in Cool Whip. Add pecans, bananas and strawberries. Mix gently to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

I sometimes add a handful of sweetened dried cranberries. I also don't worry too much about the measurements of the banana and strawberry, tossing in more or less to suite my taste.
