Tiffany's Notes: if you want to you could call this a green salad. ;) Okay, so this is not much of a "salad" but it is a lovely shade of green. It's the perfect festive color for this month.
It really should be a dessert but we serve it as a side dish (most recently at Thanksgiving dinner) and call it good. Why not eat your dessert with dinner? :)

It's super easy--just stir together the ingredients and chill. It is best after it's had at least half a day to chill.
I usually dump the pineapple in a big bowl, stir in the dry pudding mix, and then fold in the Cool Whip and marshmallows.
This is totally awesome stuff!! Classic.
ReplyDeleteI leave out the pecans and add mandarin orange slices and coconut and call it "Green Glop"!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried this with flavors other than pistachio? I wonder how this would taste in lemon.
ReplyDeleteThis stuff is soooo good! My Granny's recipe card calls it "Cool Spring Dessert".
ReplyDeleteFantastic no matter what you call it. I had it made & in fridge in less than 5 minutes. I added coconut - delis! !!
