Something green to eat that's not veggies

[velvetpage]

Piet, I'd like to make this for Friday. Can you pick me up the marshmallows, Cool Whip, mandarin oranges, crushed pineapple and grapes, please?

24-hour Fruit Salad

(Note: four-hour refrigeration should be enough. Make it at night and serve it any time the next day.)

3-oz package instant pistachio pudding mix
19-oz can crushed pineapple with juice
1/2 package small marshmallows, white or coloured
1 small carton Cool Whip
1 can mandarin oranges
1 cup pitted sweet cherries or seedless grapes, halved.

The recipe says mix it all together and refigerate. I advise mixing the pudding with the Cool Whip before adding the other ingredients. Otherwise it's very difficult to get it all mixed in properly. This looks great in a cut-glass or crystal bowl.

Oh, it is. It's a variation on my mom's favourite pot-luck recipe - Hawaiian salad. No grapes, no pudding, sour cream instead of cool whip, but otherwise very similar.
