Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.4 ounces Instant pistachio pudding mix
- 20 ounces Crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 8 ounces Whipped topping (thawed)
- 0.5 cups Chopped pistachios
- 0.5 cups Maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant pistachio pudding mix and the entire can of crushed pineapple, including the juice. Stir until well combined and the pudding mix is fully dissolved.
Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is creamy and uniform in color.
Add the mini marshmallows and chopped pistachios to the bowl. Stir gently to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the marshmallows to soften slightly.
Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and transfer it to a serving dish if desired. Top with maraschino cherries for a festive garnish (optional).
Serve chilled and enjoy!
