Pistachio Salad

Almost any Savannah gathering in the summer will have this. It is a family favorite and super easy to make. It is also cold and refreshing on a hot summer day. We don’t use the fruit cocktail in ours – we just do pineapple, but I bet it would be good. This recipe is from the Kitchen Creations Ardsley Park Baptist Church Volume II cookbook. Ardsley Park Baptist Church is a church here in Savannah. Paula Daniel contributed this recipe. I love this cookbook. I could find recipes in here all day that I have had my entire life in Savannah. 🙂 And maybe some unusual ones – the next page has Ritz cracker salad.

Ingredients:

  • 1 small can Mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1 large can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 can fruit cocktail, drained
  • 1/2 c chopped pecans
  • 1 pkg pistachio pudding
  • Cool Whip

Mix together carefully, cover and refrigerate.
