Pistachio Pudding Salad

This pistachio pudding salad is perfect for an Easter brunch, Fourth of July picnic or really any get together.  I love the flavor and texture the crushed pineapple brings to this dish.  It’s a simple pudding salad that you can throw together in minutes and only needs to be in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before it’s ready to serve.

Can I add mini marshmallows to Pistachio Pudding Salad?

We prefer this particular pudding salad without marshmallows but if you like the added sweetness mini marshmallows adds to the dish you can start by adding a cup and more if desired.  If preparing this dish the night before I would add the marshmallows an hour or two before serving.
