This is my wife's favorite:

Yum Yum Salad

Ingredients:

1 cup of Sugar
1 medium can of Crushed pineapple
1 package of Knox gelatin (flavorless)
12 oz of Coolwhip (1 ½ of the 8oz packages)
1 cup of Pecans – chopped (preferably by hand so they aren't too small)

1 pint (2 cups or 16 fl oz) of Cottage Cheese
Juice of 1 lemon

Drain pineapple juice, discard the juice.
Heat sugar, pineapple and lemon juice.
Dissolve gelatin in ¼ cup of water
Add to pineapple mixture.
Chill.
Then beat till foamy.
Fold in remaining ingredients.
Chill till set.
 
Interesting. With texture even.

I wonder how many "Yum Yum Salads" there are. DW has a cherry rendition that might have some crushed pineapple in it too.
 
Mine's orange jello, cool whip, crushed pineapple, cottage cheese, mandarine oranges. I go low fat on the cottage cheese and low cal coolwhip but it sure tastes refreshing.

See, that here is known as Lazy Wife Salad (honest, that's the name - no offense to the DW's here!).
