EASY Pistachio Salad

Easy, delicious, simple recipe with only 14pts for the entire dish.  Which breaks down to only 1 point per serving!!!!  If you bulk it up, the points lower and your fruit intake goes up!  Here you go!

  • 1 20oz can of crushed pineapple - drain about half of the liquid.  Make sure you get the kind that has no sugar added, not in syrup but in it's own juice,etc.
  • 1 package of instant pistachio pudding mix - sugar free/fat free
  • 1 container of fat free cool whip mixed w/ 1/2 tsp of coconut extract (extract optional)
  • 2 cups of mini marshmallows
  • 3 tablespoons of coconut (optional - add 3 points to the total)
Combine pineapple and dry pudding mix.  Add marshmallows and cool whip until well mixed.  Chill in fridge until cold.  Enjoy!!

You could add more marshmallows, or nuts - just change the point value accordingly.

Ways to bulk this up and add more servings for less points as well as get in servings of fruit!
  • chopped apples
  • canned peaches, pears, mandarin oranges (again, in natural juices, no sugar, etc)
  • Or just fruit cocktail if you want to be a little lazy :)
  • You could also rock any kind of berries or grapes
