I got this recipe from my mom, and I've made it many time, so I know it's a good one. The recipe makes a huge amount making it great for family gatherings or if you have a large family at home. I've had other recipes and they do not compare in taste and flavor to this one. You won't be disappointed.
Frog Eye Salad
1 1/3 cup Acini De Pepe (uncooked)
1 can (15 oz) chunk pineapple or tidbits (drained) reserve 1/4 cup of juice
1 3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 pkg small vanilla instant pudding
2 cups whipped topping
3 cups mini marshmallows (the colored look so pretty)
1 can crushed pineapple, drained
2 cans mandarin oranges, drained
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup maraschino cherries, halved
Cook pasta 11 minutes, rinse with cold water, drain well. In LARGE bowl beat reserved pineapple juice, milk, sugar and pudding for 2 minutes. Gently stir in pasta and remaining ingredients: cover, refrigerate at least 5 hours.
I put my cans of fruit in the fridge so they are cold when I make this salad. It seems to turn out better.
If you don’t want to waste the rest of the juice, drink it.
