1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1/2 cup extra mini marshmallows for garnish
1/2 cup sliced strawberries for garnish
Instructions
1. Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the stems, and slice them into bite-sized pieces.

4. Add the cottage cheese and strawberry gelatin mix, then stir until fully blended.
5. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.

7. Stir carefully until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
8. Fold in chopped pecans or walnuts if using.
9. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours to allow the flavors to blend and the texture to thicken.
10. Before serving, gently stir the salad and garnish with additional strawberries and mini marshmallows.
11. Serve chilled and enjoy.
Notes
Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
Chill the salad long enough before serving so the marshmallows soften and the flavors blend together properly.
Add garnishes right before serving to keep the strawberries fresh and the marshmallows fluffy.
