Frog Eye Salad

Submitted by Rachel Merrell

"This salad has the texture of tapioca pudding, a combination of a pudding and a fruit salad. A great replacement for a jell-o salad."

It's a two day process, or at least a few hours, but SO much better than the ones that use pudding as an easy sauce. My husband LOVES this, but like my mom says, "a mans favourite salad usually contains mini marshmallows."

Love this salad!! I am not big on the mixture, so I just add sugar and applesauce to the pineapple juice and pour that in.

I made this for my husband's Thanksgiving potluck and I would love to tell you how it tasted, but it was wiped out! DH said it was delicous and everyone loved it! I followed the recipe exactly.
