Ingredients

Units Scale

 

  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • Maraschino cherries and extra chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the pistachio pudding mix and crushed pineapple (with juice) until well combined.
  • Add Marshmallows and Nuts: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and chopped walnuts, mixing until evenly distributed.
  • Fold in Whipped Topping: Add the whipped topping and fold gently until everything is well combined and fluffy. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, garnish with maraschino cherries and a sprinkle of extra nuts, if desired. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add ½ cup of shredded coconut.
  • You can substitute pecans for walnuts or leave the nuts out for a nut-free version.
  • This salad can be made up to a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
