Ingredients
  

  • 20 oz. crushed pineapple with juice
  • 1 box pistachio pudding mix
  • 8 oz. frozen whipped topping
  • ½ c. pecans crushed
  • 1 c. mini marshmallows
  • ½ c. maraschino cherries chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine crushed pineapple (with juice), pistachio pudding mix, crushed pecans, chopped maraschino cherries, and mini marshmallows.
  • Fold in whipped topping; mix until well-combined.
  • Refrigerate + serve.

Notes

  • I like to fold my whipped topping into the mix at the end; it produces the best consistency for the salad.
  • Do not drain the pineapple juice!
  • Use crushed pecans in the mix, with walnuts being a good substitute.
