Green Stuff (or Pistachio Dessert). I'm a traditionalist when it comes to my Green Stuff but it would also be fun to add mini marshmallows or sliced almonds for a little extra crunch. I know, I know…it's not very sophisticated, and not even a little bit healthy for you. Combine whipped topping, pudding mix and crushed pineapple until fully integrated.
Add Cool Whip last and fold mixture together.
Whip up a batch to add a delicious touch of green to your St.
But then, it's perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, or every day, too!

I've seen this recipe called pistachio delight, watergate salad, green goop, green fluff, green stuff, shut the gate salad, and pistachio mallow salad. Phew, this green dessert has a lot of monikers! No matter what you call it, this easy dessert recipe is always a winner with my family. It seems odd calling a fruit salad of all things a "side dish".

After all, any side dish that's made with marshmallows and whipped cream seems much closer to a dessert, if anything. Green fluff salad with pistachio pudding sounds like an odd combination, for sure. In a large bowl, combine whipped topping, pudding mix and food coloring if desired. Fold in the marshmallows and pineapple. The pistachio pudding gives it its characteristic mint green color and a good bit of its flavor.
