Paleo Pistachio Fluff
So who’s heard of PALEO PISTACHIO FLUFF?! You may either be very intrigued or scratching your head, and we get that! It goes by many names: pistachio dump salad, pistachio pudding salad, pistachio salad, Watergate salad? It’s been around for many years based on that last option, right?! Growing up, this summer picnic/BBQ offering made an appearance most every weekend. I remember my great aunt making it when we were vacationing one summer and from then on, it was highly requested. Everyone loved it. Such a fun and bright offering, completing a meal as a dish that is part dessert, part side dish.

- Prepare the pudding base by adding pistachio milk, spinach, maple sugar, cassava flour, almond extract and salt to a high powered blender. Blend until completely smooth and spinach is pulverized. Pour this mixture into a small heavy bottomed saucepan.
- Over medium heat, stir constantly as mixture warms and thickens. Transfer to a heatproof bowl, cover with plastic (to prevent a skin from forming on top) and place in the refrigerator until completely cooled. Usually a couple hours, depending on the container used.
- Once cooled, add the whipped cream and stir to combine and place in a larger bowl for serving if desired. Add the pineapple, marshmallows and pecans then stir to combine well. Dollop with additional whipped cream and pistachios if using and serve!
