Frog Eye
Salad
- 1 1/4 cup Acini Di Pepe (small round pasta; find it in a small box in the pasta aisle.)
- 2 (11oz) cans mandarin oranges
- 1 (20oz) can pineapple tidbits
- 1 (4-serving) box vanilla pudding
- 1 1/2 cup milk (or combination of milk & pineapple juice from the tidbits)
- 2 cups whipped cream/cool whip
- 3 cups marshmallows
- 1/2 cup sweetened coconut flakes
- Cook acini di pepe according to package directions. Drain & rinse with cold water.
- Drain cans of fruit, saving the pineapple juice. In a large bowl, combine pudding with milk or a combination of milk & reserved pineapple juice (for a sweeter salad) to equal 1 1/2 cups liquid. Whisk until combined. Place in the freezer or fridge to firm up pudding; about 5-10 minutes.
- Once pudding is firm, fold in whipped cream/cool whip. Add cooked pasta, fruit, marshmallows & coconut. Fold gently. Refrigerate for 30 minutes (optional, but advised.) Serve cold.
