This is the dish I mentioned when featured in Beryl's video about midwest's take on a viral popcorn dish. The pistachio pudding based version is commonly known as Watergate Salad. But this will have predated that recipe name but it is how others will more commonly recognize the dish.
Recipe:
Heavenly Salad
1 small package lime Jello
1 cup cottage cheese I use small curd
1 small can crushed pineapple
1 cup cream whipped
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup marshmallows
Drain juice from pineapple, add water to make 1 cup liquid. Bring this to a boil and add Jello. Cool. Then fold in cottage cheese, pineapple, nuts and marshmallows. Lastly fold in whipped cream. Pour into a 9x9 inch pyrex dish. Sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired. Let set at least an hour in the fridge.

Similar recipes can be found in the same cook book Lime Whip, Cool Lime Salad, Jello Dessert Salad are a few with variations on using cream cheese and one uses mayo.
From my 1933 cookbook page 72 has a very similar recipe for
Cucumber and Pineapple Salad with cottage cheese
but seems heavier on the cream cheese to make it thick enough to mold it into a jello mold.
