Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 1 box Banana Cream Instant Pudding Substitution: Vanilla pudding can be used for a different flavor.
  • 1 can Crushed Pineapple (with juice) No substitution needed as it’s integral for texture.
  • 1 cup Maraschino Cherries No substitute, but use fresh cherries for a healthier twist.
  • 1 cup Diced Strawberries Frozen strawberries can be used if fresh ones are not available.
  • 2 cups Miniature Marshmallows Could substitute with larger marshmallows, cut into smaller pieces.
  • 1 cup Chopped Nuts Choose favorite nuts; walnuts or pecans work well.
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips Substitute with dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
  • 2 medium Sliced Bananas Toss in lemon juice to prevent browning.
For Garnish
  • 1/2 cup Extra Chocolate Chips Feel free to sprinkle more for that extra chocolatey goodness!
  • 1/4 cup Additional Nuts Toasted nuts can enhance the flavor even further.
  • 1/4 cup More Cherries Nothing beats the pop of a cherry on top!

  3. Gently fold half of the whipped topping into the salad mixture, then add the remaining topping and fold once more.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and let the flavors meld.
  5. Stir gently to combine settled ingredients, and garnish with extra chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and maraschino cherries before serving.
