Fluff Salad can be such a weird thing.<\/p>\n

As a dessert salad, it\u2019s great. Not something I really grew up with, beyond the odd Watergate salad or Ambrosia salad you\u2019d see at baby showers, holiday dinners, family gatherings, etc, mind you... but a fun, easy dessert.<\/p>\n

Then I met my husband, who comes from a place where these kind of fluffy salads are considered a side dish.<\/p>\n

Now, fluff recipes generally involve things like fresh fruits - berries, sweet pineapple chunks, maraschino cherries, etc - along with fun mini marshmallows, instant pudding (or Jello mix), and whipped topping.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry, but at BEST you can call that a fruit salad... which is neither an actual salad, nor a side dish. <\/p>\n

Anyway, my pedantic ranting aside... this kind of simple dessert usually ends up being a crowd favorite, regardless of which side of the border you serve it on, or what you call it!<\/p><\/div>\n

When we met, pistachio fluff salad was his favourite... but today\u2019s easy recipe might have overtaken that spot in his books.<\/p>\n

This creamy salad is a SUPER easy, no bake dessert recipe. It\u2019s a great recipe to have on hand when you need to bring a delicious dessert to a backyard BBQ or potluck.<\/p>\n

If you put it in a fancy dish and spend a minute or two garnishing it, though, you can definitely get away with serving it at any holiday table - even with Christmas dinner. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great addition to our small - but growing - collection of easy fluff salad recipes: Cherry Cheesecake Fluff<\/a>, Banana Split Fluff Salad<\/a>, and Pina Colada Fluff Salad<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anyway, let\u2019s take a look at what you\u2019ll need to throw on a batch of this easy dessert salad, yourself!<\/p><\/div>\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n

This recipe uses super simple ingredients. You shouldn\u2019t have any trouble finding what you need in any grocery store.<\/p>\n

A few notes for you:<\/p>\n

Crushed Pineapple<\/h4>\n

I\u2019ve only ever made this with crushed pineapple, but I suppose pineapple chunks or pineapple tidbits would also work. <\/p>\n

I\u2019d probably run them through a mini food processor - juice and all - a few times, just to break it up a bit.<\/p>\n

The \u201cjuice and all\u201d is important here - whatever pineapple you\u2019re using, don\u2019t drain it!<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Mini Marshmallows<\/h4>\n

Consider the measurement of miniature marshmallows a guideline, moreso than a hard and fast rule.<\/p>\n

Sometimes you may want more marshmallows, sometimes less. Just eyeball it, and measure with your heart!<\/p>\n

Also: If your marshmallows are a little stale, that\u2019s ok - they absorb a lot of liquid, especially from the pineapples.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Cool Whip<\/h4>\n

The sizing varies a little between countries. If you\u2019re in the USA, use an 8 oz tub. If you\u2019re in Canada, use the 1 Litre container.<\/p>\n

Everything Else<\/h4>\n

Rounding out this recipe, you will need:<\/p>\n

Blueberry Pie Filling
\nFresh Blueberries
\nSliced Almonds
\nInstant Vanilla Pudding mix
\nSalt<\/p>\n

... I just don\u2019t have anything to add, as far as these last few ingredients go. Pretty straightforward stuff!<\/p><\/div>\n
