Just like vegetable salads, retro-style <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/vintage-marshmallow-salad-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/vintage-marshmallow-salad-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">marshmallow salad recipes<\/a> have a cool, fresh taste. In these sweet salads, however, we call upon pudding mix and marshmallows in place of veggies. Take this pistachio salad, for example. Full of pineapples, pistachios and mini marshmallows, it can be served as a side dish or dessert, depending on where you&#8217;re from.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll typically see fluff salads and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/vintage-potluck-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/vintage-potluck-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vintage potluck recipes<\/a> like this in the South and Midwest, although they can be enjoyed anywhere, at any time. It may sound odd to eat something sweet and creamy as a salad, but once you taste it, you&#8217;ll give in to this luscious treat. After all, you don&#8217;t get a lot of opportunities to eat marshmallows before dessert!<\/p>\n<h2>What is pistachio salad?<\/h2>\n<p>Fluffy pudding-based salads became popular at the turn of the 20th century, shortly after the invention of instant gelatin. That magical ingredient made it simple to create airy treats like pudding and marshmallows. Home cooks layered these modern fluffy ingredients into &#8220;salads,&#8221; colorful dishes that sit proudly on the salad buffet table at family get-togethers.<\/p>\n<p>Pistachio salad came about in the mid-1970s, after the release of pistachio-flavored pudding mix. Pistachio salad gained popularity around the same time, which is most likely why it&#8217;s also known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/watergate-salad\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/watergate-salad\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watergate salad<\/a> (the infamous Watergate scandal was unfolding around the same time in Washington, D.C.). The biggest difference between our pistachio salad and Watergate salad recipes is the nut used: One uses pistachio, the other pecan.<\/p>\n<p>This side dish goes by a lot of names, from &#8220;pistachio delight&#8221; to &#8220;green fluff&#8221; to &#8220;pistachio mallow salad.&#8221; No matter what you call it, pistachio salad is a beloved (and delicious) generations-long staple among many families.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Pistachio Salad<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pudding mix:<\/strong> Green pistachio pudding mix is the base of this classic recipe. Since this is a popular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/foolproof-one-dish-potluck-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/foolproof-one-dish-potluck-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one-dish potluck recipe<\/a>, there&#8217;s no need to prepare the pudding. Just dump the mix into the bowl!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whipped topping:<\/strong> To get that classic airy, creamy texture, stir whipped topping into the salad base. If using frozen whipped topping, allow it to thaw first.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Canned pineapple:<\/strong> Bits of bright pineapple add color and sweetness to the salad. Don&#8217;t drain the pineapple; you want the juice to help create moisture for the salad.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nuts: <\/strong>Crunchy pistachio or walnuts offset the creamy texture of the salad. Lightly toast the nuts to add extra depth of flavor if you like.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Marshmallows:<\/strong> Chewy marshmallows add volume and bite to this salad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Stir together the base<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1969804 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pistachio-Mallow-Salad_TOHVS24_17322_DF_1_11_PistachioSalad_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"combining whipped ingredients for Pistachio Mallow Salad in a glass bowl\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large bowl, combine the whipped topping and pudding mix.

It will keep for up to two days, although the whipped topping may lose some volume. It will still taste delicious.<\/p>\n<h2>Can you freeze pistachio salad?<\/h2>\n<p>You can freeze pistachio salad, though the texture of the fluff and the marshmallows will change.

Also I have to substitute something for the pineapple because my husband detests pineapple.  I usually use chopped up canned freestone peaches.  I use whatever nuts are cheaper at the health food store, usually walnuts and I've even used pecans which were wonderful in this dish.  In my neck of the woods we called this Watergate Salad.  Some of the ladies added chopped marischino cherries but I didn't because we don't like them!  Does anyone have any other suggestions for a fruit I could possibly substitute for the pineapple?","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2014-12-24","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"RedAnchor"},"reviewBody":"Tip:  mix the pineapple and the pistachio pudding mix together first.  This will ensure that there aren't any pudding lumps!  Then add in the Cool Whip; it helps if you leave the CW on the counter for maybe twenty to thirty minutes first so it is easier to stir.  Then add marshmallows and refrigerate.  We love this recipe, too!
