Mandarin /Pineapple salad?/ dessert?

Do you need a last minute side to take along to a picnic or holiday dessert?

 Well have I got a great easy recipe for you.  It was so easy to make and only a few minutes to prepare.  Refrigerate it for about an hour or even less and you'll make a lot of people love you...

 Four ingredients to make this luscious yummy side or even dessert.  Light, fluffy with fruit mixed through.  It will certainly please guests and you too because it can be prepared so easily. 

If you desire add a few chopped pecans to garnish it.  Not necessary but you who love pecans will certainly like this addition.  

Note:  Great for Brunch or to go along with a yummy ham sandwich. This recipe is a keeper.

Directions: 

I-8 oz. cool whip
1-15 oz. pineapple drained
1-15 oz. mandarin oranges drained

Mix the cool whip and instant vanilla pudding together and add the pineapple and one can of mandarin oranges (save a few for decoration). Drain pineapple and mandarin oranges reserving  a little juice to add if mixture is too thick.

Once done with mixing, place in a bowl and refrigerate for a couple of hours until thickened.

Simple, fresh and delicious! I usually use this mandarin orange salad as a side dish with a meal.  Maybe a burger or a ham sandwich is your delight.  

Can't decide what to make well this is a great last minute food idea. Thumbs up!
