Cool Summer Salad

This recipe was given to me over 30 years ago by my girl’s Grandma Great.  It’s full of pineapple, mandarin oranges, marshmallows and creamy vanilla pudding.  It goes together in a snap and you can serve this as a side salad or a light summertime dessert. This can also be made ahead and frozen until needed.  Our family has enjoyed this recipe many times over the years and I think your family will like it too!
