Frog Eye Salad

 
 
 
 
  It is super easy & delicious.  It makes a LOT so it's great for parties & get-togethers!  Enjoy!
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

  1. Cook acini di pepe according to package directions.  Drain & rinse with cold water.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

 Many thanx....Recipe from: Amber (Dessert Now, Dinner Later!)
