This is a great dish to serve either as a side dish, salad, or even a dessert. It can be made in advance to save time for those busy holiday meals.

Ingredients

  • 1- 1 lb. 4 oz. can crushed pineapple, in 100% pineapple juice, drained but reserve the juice
  • 2 small pkgs. instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 1 -16 oz. tub Cool Whip, thawed
  • 2 c. miniature marshmallows
  • 1 c. chopped pecans or walnuts, optional

Steps

  1. Drain the pineapple, but reserve the juice.
  2. Stir together half of the pineapple juice with the pudding mix until well blended. Gently fold in the Cool Whip then carefully stir in the pineapple, marshmallows, and pecans. Add additional juice only if needed so it is moist but not too runny.
  3. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour or preferably overnight. Garnish with shredded sweet coconut, chopped nuts or Maraschino cherries, if desired.
