pistachio salad at last

I have at long last learned how to make one of my most favorite foods ever. Also, HEB is selling a premade version of this in the deli section, so even if I am too lazy to mix things in a bowl, I can still revel in my delicious bizarre food heritage.

Pistachio Salad

- 1 box pistachio pudding mix
- 1 tub of Cool whip
- about a cup of miniature marshmallows
- about a half cup of chopped pistachios and/or walnuts
- one can of crushed pineapple bits

Combine pudding mix and pineapples. Fold in Cool Whip, marshmallows and nuts. Refrigerate.

Happiness.

I learned it as Watergate salad... the pistachio pudding mix, Cool Whip, marshmallows, crushed pineapple, but with a can of drained fruit cocktail and another can of drained mandarin oranges, and no extra nuts.

And yes dammit, that sounds good now. I only make it when people other than me are around to eat lots of it, cause it's really too sweet for me. But I loves it anyway. =)

Now I've never heard it called that. Interesting. And with fruit cocktail. Mmm. Delicious.
