Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 20 ounces pineapple tidbits or chunks, drained
- 1 (3.4 ounce) box instant pistachio pudding mix
- 8 ounces Cool Whip (lite works too)
- 2 bananas, sliced
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare Pineapple Juice: Drain the pineapple tidbits thoroughly and pour the reserved pineapple juice into a large mixing bowl.
- Mix Pudding: Add the instant pistachio pudding mix to the pineapple juice and whisk well until the mixture thickens.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the Cool Whip into the pudding mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Add Fruits and Marshmallows: Add the drained pineapple tidbits, sliced bananas, and mini marshmallows to the bowl.
- Combine Gently: Stir all ingredients together gently to evenly combine without mashing the fruits.
Notes
- For best results, chill the salad in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving to let flavors meld and pudding set.
- You can substitute fresh pineapple chunks if preferred; just adjust juice accordingly.
- Use lite Cool Whip as a lower-fat option without sacrificing creaminess.
- This salad is best served cold on the day it’s made for optimal texture and flavor.
