Mom’s Recipe – Pineapple Pistachio Salad

*One of Mary Myrick’s best recipes*

Ingredients:

  • 1 (3 oz.) package instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 1 (20 oz.) can crushed pineapple in syrup (do not drain)
  • 1 (8 oz.) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 cup miniature marshmallows
  • 1 cup chopped nuts

Mix together the package of instant pistachio pudding mix with the entire can of crushed pineapple in syrup. Gently fold in the whipped topping, miniature marshmallows and chopped nuts. The colored miniature marshmallows can be used in place of the plain white ones and you can adjust the amount of nuts. Refrigerate until well chilled.

Often called “Watergate” salad, this dish can be used as an excellent light dessert as well.

Welcome to my online home since 2004. I blog a bit about my life as it happens, my work as I am permitted, and occasional throwback entries. When I'm not writing new posts, I actively curate this blog, improving the wording or adding new media to old posts, and finally finishing old drafts I've left sitting for years. It is not my intention to be a source of news or content. I don’t have anything to sell, and I’m not trying to get likes/shares/follows. This site is an autobiographical effort - imperfections and all. My life, remembered in my words, my way.
