  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes

Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 box pistachio pudding mix
  • 1 can crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 1 (16 oz) container Cool Whip (whipped topping)
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Mix Pudding and Pineapple: In a large bowl, stir the pistachio pudding mix thoroughly into the can of crushed pineapple along with its juice until well combined.
  2. Fold in Toppings: Gently fold the Cool Whip, mini marshmallows, and chopped pecans into the pudding and pineapple mixture until evenly distributed.
  3. Chill Salad: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use chilled ingredients to ensure the salad sets properly.
  • You can substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
  • Pecans can be toasted lightly to enhance their flavor if desired.
  • This salad is best served cold and consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
