To Make The Salad
- 20 ounces pineapple tidbits with juice
- 3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding
- 8 ounces Cool Whip
- 2 cups red apples chopped
- 2 cups green apples chopped

- 1½ cups dry roasted peanuts
Optional Toppings
- Caramel sauce
- ½ cup dry roasted peanuts crushed
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the reserved pineapple juice together with the vanilla pudding mix until smooth.
- Fold in the Cool Whip gently until fully combined, then refrigerate while preparing the remaining ingredients.
- Cut the red and green apples into small, bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the pineapple tidbits, chopped apples, mini marshmallows, peanuts, and the chilled Cool Whip mixture, stirring until evenly mixed.
- Top with extra peanuts and a drizzle of caramel sauce, if desired, before serving.
