HOW TO MAKE IT :
- Mix together Cool Whip and Instant vanilla pudding (do NOT make the pudding, just use it dry).
- Add undrained crushed pineapple and both cans of drained Mandarin Oranges. (Use as many mandarins as you like, more/less) Save a few mandarin oranges to decorate the top of salad. Refrigerate until it thickens again maybe a couple of hours before you need to use it.
- Use as a side dish with a meal or serve with ice cream as a dessert!
- You can make this healthier by choosing low/no sugar instant pudding mix and cool whip, and fresh mandarins.
- I particularly like the whipped cool whip for my salad as per the original.
- Try it a few times to see what suits you best.
