pistachio salad
Nutty green fluff
Pistachio salad is a sweet American side dish made with pistachio pudding mix, whipped topping, canned pineapple, marshmallows, and nuts.
Despite being called a salad, it's essentially a dessert—pale green, fluffy, and very sweet.
It appears at potlucks, holiday dinners, and church suppers, especially in the Midwest: Grandma always brings her pistachio salad to Thanksgiving.
Also called Watergate salad or green fluff.
