Cover the bowl or mold tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the gelatin to set completely. (Chill time: ~4+ hours)
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of pineapple or lemon extract to the gelatin mixture.
Toasting the pecans before adding them to the salad enhances their nutty flavor and provides a more satisfying crunch.
Ensure the pineapple and cottage cheese are well-drained to prevent a watery salad.
For a festive presentation, use a decorative mold to create a unique shape for the salad.
This salad can be prepared up to 2 days in advance. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
