Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.4 oz Instant pistachio pudding mix
- 20 oz Crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 8 oz Cool Whip (whipped topping, thawed)
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Seedless green grapes (halved)
- 15 oz Mandarin oranges (drained)
- 1 large Banana (sliced)
- 0.25 cup Chopped pistachios (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant pistachio pudding mix and the crushed pineapple along with its juice. Stir until the pudding mix is fully dissolved and the mixture thickens slightly.
Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
Add the mini marshmallows, halved green grapes, and drained mandarin oranges to the bowl. Stir gently to distribute the fruits evenly without breaking them.
Just before serving, fold in the sliced banana to prevent it from browning too early.
Transfer the fruit salad to a serving dish and garnish with chopped pistachios and maraschino cherries if desired.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Serve chilled and enjoy your creamy, nutty pistachio fruit salad!
