Hey there! Get ready to make the most fun and funky salad ever — Frog Eye Salad!
This salad is super creamy, sweet, and has little pasta pearls that totally look like frog eyes
(but don’t worry, no frogs involved). Perfect for potlucks or just snacking!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup acini de pepe pasta (that’s the little round pasta that looks like frog eyes)
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (canned, drained)
- 1 cup mandarin oranges (canned, drained)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- ½ cup shredded coconut (optional, but yummy)
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions:
1.Cook the Pasta: Boil the acini de pepe pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and let it cool. These little pasta balls are what make the salad look like it’s got
2.Whip Up the Creamy Sauce: In a saucepan, mix the sugar, flour, and beaten egg. Stir in the pineapple juice from the crushed pineapple. Cook over medium heat until it thickens (about 5 minutes).
3.Combine the Goodies: In a big bowl, mix together the cooked pasta, drained pineapple chunks, mandarin oranges, marshmallows, and shredded coconut
4.Fold in the Whip: Once the sauce is cooled, gently fold it into the pasta mixture along with the whipped topping. Stir everything together until it’s well mixed and creamy!
5.Chill It: Pop the salad in the fridge for at least an hour. It tastes even better once all the flavors come together.
