Pistachio Salad
Pistachio Salad | This creamy sweet salad is more like a dessert and is always one of the top requested recipes from my family. We never let a Thanksgiving or Christmas go by without this salad.
This pistachio salad is so fluffy with lots of whip cream and marshmallows. This is one of my favorite holiday salads. I love having a touch of sweet with all the savory dishes I serve for Thanksgiving or Christmas.
