Okay, since someone thought it was intriguing, I figured I’d post the recipe for my Aunt’s salad.
This makes enough to feed a small army, so feel free to cut it back!
3 boxes of Pistachio Pudding
1 container of cool whip
2 cans of fruit salad/cocktail drained thoroughly
1 jar maraschino cherries, drained thoroughly
Optional:
Finely chopped pistachio’s or other nuts of choice
Grapes (red or white)
Chunk pineapple
Fresh Fruit of your choice
Make pudding according to directions, fold in cool whip, fruit, cherries, nuts, chill and serve cold.
Super simple and yummy. You can use fresh fruit if you have it available, make sure it’s bite size, no juice, no water, etc. If the fruit is wet, the pudding and cool whip will break down and get watery. Do not make this more than a few hours in advance, for the same reason. The natural juice of the fruits will make it watery.
