Calories: 423kcal
Ingredients
- 20 ounces pineapple tidbits, with juice
- 3.4 ounces vanilla pudding
- 8 ounces Cool Whip
- 2 cups red apples, chopped
- 2 cups green apples, chopped
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1½ cups dry roasted peanuts
Optional toppings
- Caramel sauce
- ½ cup dry roasted peanuts, crushed
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the juice from the pineapple tidbits with the vanilla pudding.
- Gently fold in the Cool Whip until well combined. Place in the fridge to chill while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Chop the red and green apples into small bite-size pieces.
- In a large bowl, arrange the pineapple tidbits, apples, mini marshmallows, peanuts, and Cool Whip mixture and mix until evenly distributed.
- Garnish with additional peanuts and caramel sauce if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use a chilled serving bowl when mixing ingredients together. Chilling the bowl prevents the apples from becoming mushy or over-softening during preparation.
- The pineapple juice will help dissolve the pudding mix when combined together.
- Be careful when you are mixing up the salad. You don’t want to break the ingredients up too much, so make sure you stir the salad gently.
