   • Once the Jello is dissolved, add in the miniature marshmallows. Stir gently to incorporate them into the mixture.

3. Cool:

   • Allow the Jello and marshmallow mixture to cool down to room temperature. This step ensures that the marshmallows soften slightly and absorb the flavors.

4. Mix in Nuts and Pineapple:

   • Add the chopped walnuts and crushed pineapple to the Jello mixture. These ingredients bring a delightful crunch and sweetness to the salad.

5. Fold in Miracle Whip and Cottage Cheese:

   • Gently fold in the Miracle Whip (or mayonnaise) and cottage cheese into the Jello mixture. This creates a creamy and tangy texture that balances the sweetness of the fruits and marshmallows.

6. Chill Overnight:

   • Transfer the Sunshine Salad mixture into a serving dish or individual cups. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together and for the salad to set properly.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve the Sunshine Salad chilled, straight from the refrigerator.
• Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped walnuts or a cherry on top for a decorative touch.
• This salad is perfect for a refreshing dessert on a warm day or as a sweet treat any time of the year.
