Dorothy's Cottage Cheese Salad

We were first served this salad by Dorothy McLeod, our friend Alan's mother. Jerri asked for the recipe and has been making it for nearly as long as we have been married. If you like cottage cheese, you really should give this a try. This salad tastes best if it is prepared at least a couple of hours before serving.

INGREDIENTS

24 Oz. carton small curd creamed cottage cheese
1/4 cup or more to taste mayonnaise or salad dressing
4 hard boiled eggs, chopped medium
1/4 to 1/2 cup candied dill strips, chopped rather fine
Paprika

PROCEDURE:

Mix everything in a bowl. Taste and add more salad dressing if needed. Garnish with a couple of shakes of paprika.

NOTE: If you can't find candied dill strips, use sweet pickled gherkins and add a pinch of cinnamon and 1/8 tsp. dill weed.
