Pistachio Pineapple Salad

Hey there, fellow moms and BBQ enthusiasts! I’ve got a special treat for you today, a tried-and-true family favorite recipe that’s as beloved as that good ol’ potato salad. You know the feeling, right? When you head to a family gathering, secretly praying this sweet treat will be on the menu? Well, I’ve kept the tradition alive in my own family, and I’m thrilled to pass it on to you today. So, buckle up, grab your apron and let’s dive into this delightful Pistachio Pineapple Salad recipe that’s bound to be a hit with your crew!

Ingredients:

2 Boxes of Pistachio Pudding
2 8oz Containers of Cool Whip
20 oz of Pineapple (canned, your choice to drain or not)
A bunch of colorful marshmallows (because, why not?)

Instructions:

Begin with the Cool Whip – just plop it into a big ol’ bowl. No need for precision; we’re not here for fancy measurements.
Next, tear into those Pistachio Pudding boxes like your kids tearing into their favorite snacks after school. Dump them right into the same bowl. Mix and mingle, people!
Now, here’s where the age-old debate begins. Some say drain the pineapple, some say don’t. Personally, I’m in the “no-drain” camp because I’ve got a thing for pineapple juice. So, you decide – go ahead and add that can of crushed pineapple. The more, the merrier!
But wait, we’re not done yet! It’s not a real family recipe without a dash of fun. So, toss a handful of those multicolored marshmallows into the bowl. The more colors, the better – it’s like a tiny party in your dessert!
Roll up those sleeves and mix it all together. Get the kids involved if you want – it’s a fun, family affair. Just keep an eye out for little marshmallow snatchers!
Once you’ve got your salad all mixed up and looking fantastic, pop that bowl of goodness into the fridge. Trust me, it’s even better when it’s chilled and ready to impress.

There you have it, the ultimate Pistachio Pineapple Salad that’s been delighting families at countless gatherings for generations. Now it’s your turn to carry the torch and make some unforgettable memories. Share it with your loved ones, and I promise, you’ll be the star of the next family get-together. Enjoy, fellow moms, and may your BBQs be filled with tasty moments and a dash of colorful marshmallow mischief!”
