Notes
Drain fruit thoroughly: Extra juice will thin the mixture and prevent it from thickening properly.
Use small curd cottage cheese: Small curds blend more evenly with the other ingredients.
Fully thaw whipped topping: Thawed whipped topping folds into the mixture smoothly.
Allow enough chill time: The texture thickens as the salad rests in the refrigerator.
