Pistachio Pudding Salad

by 16 Comments

This Pistachio Pudding Salad is super simple to make and perfect for a crowd or side-dish for family dinner.

Pistachio Pudding SaladEvery 3rd Sunday we eat family dinner with my in-laws. I always look forward to it because my mother-in-law is a great cook! She makes so many delicious fruit salads and this Pistachio Pudding Salad is one of my favorites. I finally got the recipe from her and it was so easy to make!

Pistachio Pudding Salad

All you do is mix together pistachio pudding mix, crushed pineapple, cottage cheese and cool whip! You can add chopped pecans or mini-marshmallows if you’d like. It’d be pretty if you top it with a few crushed pecans or pistachios.

I don’t usually like cottage cheese but I love it in this salad! This is what sets this Pistachio Pudding Salad apart from most and it makes it so good!

This would also be a perfect side dish to serve for St. Patricks Day or Christmas. The green color is so beautiful! But honestly, we serve it whenever we want. Usually once a month for our family dinners. It’s always a hit!

  4. I usually make this salad for the holidays (minus the cottage cheese) but it’s SO GOOD. I love it. It’s funny because your fruit salad looks like what I usually make for my husband (he doesn’t like to pistachio kind). Thanks for sharing!
