Frog Eye Salad has roots in Utah, but it reminds me of a Midwest “salad,” so I’ve adopted it into our culinary canon!   Who knew frogs’ eyes could taste so good? Apparently, residents of Utah, who have been bringing their own renditions of Frog Eye Salad recipes to potlucks and family gatherings for decades.Since this part pasta salad, part fruit salad totes along some serious dessert recipe energy, it reminds me of Midwest “salads” (aka dessert salads) like Snickers Salad, Strawberry Pretzel Salad, Grape Salad, and Waldorf Salad.A staple at picnic potlucks in Utah, Frog Eye Salad is a pudding/pasta/fruit salad that is, for lack of a better definition, a dessert salad.

This fruit salad combines acini di pepe pasta, mandarin oranges, and pineapple suspended in homemade pudding and whipped topping, with the addition of marshmallow and shredded coconut for texture.It makes a lovely side dish at Thanksgiving and Christmas, too!
