INGREDIENTS

1 large can Crushed Pineapple (undrained)
2 medium/Large cans Mandarin Oranges (drained)
1 pkg Cool Whip 8 oz ( and you could use fat-free)
How to make Mandarin Orange Salad
Step 1: Combine the cool whip with the dry vanilla pudding.
Step 2: Add in the undrained crushed pineapple and 2 cans of drained Mandarin oranges into the cool whip-vanilla pudding mixture. You can use as many mandarin oranges you’d like or less depending on your preference. Save some for decoration. Place in the fridge for a few hours to thicken or until you are ready to use it.
Step 3: This is great as a side dish with a meal or serves with a scoop of ice cream as a dessert.
Step 4: For a healthier alternative, choose low or no-sugar instant pudding mix or cool whip and some fresh mandarins.
NOTE: I like to use the whipped cool whip but you can use whatever suits you best.
