This is a great recipe for those that enjoy cooking with young children. Use three simple ingredients, a plastic bowl, and a mixing spoon to make this summertime favorite. Children can dump and mix ingredients with very little difficulty.
This is a recipe that my mother-in-law usually prepares as part of the Easter Brunch spread. The mint green color of the pudding mix adds a refreshing flair to any spring or summer table. This flavorful dessert would be a great addition to a wedding or baby shower luncheon menu. For additional flavor and texture, try adding a 1/2 cup of finely chopped walnuts or some flaked coconut.

This is so old school! I love it! I remember my mom making this for a me when I was little and it was like dessert but she called it a “salad” so we got to eat it during dinner.

You are so right,Kaylie…My mother-in-law did the same thing! I made it for a graduation party this past weekend and everyone loved it. Lots of guests asked for the recipe. It’s a yummy “salad”!😊
