Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 boxes JELL-O Instant Pistachio pudding mix (3.4 ounce each)
  • 1 can crushed pineapple (20 ounce)
  • 16 ounce Cool Whip (thawed)
  • 10 bag mini marshmallows (10 ounce)
Garnish (Optional)
  • maraschino cherries

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large bowl, combine the pudding mix with the crushed pineapple. Mix with a wooden spoon until the pudding mix is blended with the pineapple liquids.
  2. Add in the thawed Cool Whip and mini marshmallows. Stir gently to combine. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to set.
  3. Serve chilled. Garnish with maraschino cherries before serving, or stir them into the salad just before serving if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can add a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the salad. If you prefer a less sweet salad, you can reduce the number of mini marshmallows.
