This is so good. I made a few changes. Added pineapple tidbits(drained) instead of crushed. Loved the texture. Also added unsweetened shredded coconut and less marshmellows than what the recipe calls for. Didn't have food color so I didn't add. Next time I will try it with sugar free coolwhip combined with extra creamy cool whip.

I made this for a Mother's Day brunch and it was a big hit! I used chopped walnuts in place of pistachios and used multi-colored flavored marshmallows and it was wonderful! Will definately make again!

Very easy and really good! I used 1 cup whipped whipping cream instead of coolwhip and it wasn't too sweet at all. Will make again.

This was a fairly easy and tasty recipe. But, I think it needed a little something extra. Maybe some more pineapples or pineapple juice, I tasted a lot of the marshmallow flavor. It was still really good and we definitely ate it all up!

Very rich, and yummy, and quick! I used regular fruit cocktail instead of pineapple and added a larger helping of fruit than recommended to help cut the sweetness. I also suggest blending the nuts into the salad.

My fam. liked this one. I added bananas (I love them in fruit salads) I used 8 oz of cool whip in the salad and used the rest as a dollop on top to mellow the pistachio flavor. Don't skip the nuts! I used chopped walnuts on top and it was my favorite part.... def. more than just a garnish here! Thanks!

This was alright. I thought it needed more flavoring it tasted alittle too much like cool whip to me. I'm giving it four stars b/c my boyfriend liked it alot.

This was a hit at my office potluck today. I was a bit disappointed that I didn't have the food coloring, but evidently it didn't matter too much. Thanks for sharing!

We always made this with cottage cheese instead of marshmallows. Still tastes sweet and yummy but a much healthier choice.

OH YUM! How can something so simple taste so good? I did something a little different with this, however. I followed the recipe exactly as written except I only chilled it for about an hour & then put it in a graham cracker pie crust as a dessert. I did have some of the filling left so will serve that with dinner tonight. Two meals in one recipe..now that's a bargain!

I had been looking for this recipe for years. Like another reviewer, I added 2 boxes of pudding & a handful of chopped pistachios to the whipped topping. It is wonderful!!! Next time I think I will add a little more pineapple and reserve the juice to combine with the pudding mix before I add it to the whipped topping (to make it easier to incorporate without making it "gritty").

This is a favorite of my husband. I don't make it too often unless I am bringing it to a potluck since it's more dessert than salad. I have prepared it by using an 8-os size whipped topping and adding a cup of sour cream with the pudding. Makes it a bit less "fluffy" and more flavorful. Try some toasted coconut as garnish.

This is excellent! The food coloring... Although I didn't have any on hand, I do see why one might want to add it. With 16OZ of whipped cream, the color of the pistachio pudding mix fades out. It is a prettier green when using just 8OZ of whipped cream. Which I did first for comparison. I also added crushed nuts into the mix as I did for garnishing on top. My #2 grand-daughter came into the kitchen as I finished making this. I gave her some to try...(her eyes lit up as she put a spoonful in her mouth) and she said, "Granny, this is SOOOOO GOOD!!!". I guess that says it all! :) Happy New Year 2009"
