Paleo Pistachio Fluff (Edit recipe)

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.

Ingredients

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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!
