Frog Eye Salad

Yield 20 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup Acini Di Pepe (small round pasta)
  • 2 (11oz) cans mandarin oranges
  • 1 (20oz) can pineapple tidbits
  • 1 4-serving box vanilla instant 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

Instructions

  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 1½ 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.
