Pistachio Apple Cream Salad

I admit this is an unusual combination, but blending the pistachio pudding and the apple produces such a pretty mix of colors. Men may not admit they want things to look attractive but they definitely do, from this appetizing apple salad to the apples of their eyes!
Serves 6 (2/3 cup)

1 (4-serving) package JELL-O sugar-free instant pistachio pudding mix
2/3 cup Carnation Dry Milk Powder
3/4 cup water
1 cup (one 8-ounce can) pineapple tidbits, packed in fruit juice, undrained
1/3 cup Cool Whip Lite
2 cups (4 small) cored, unpeeled, diced Red Delicious apples
1/2 cup (1 ounce) miniature marshmallows
2 tablespoons (1/2 ounce) chopped pecans

In a large bowl, combine dry pudding mix and milk powder. Add water and undrained pineapple. Mix well using a wire whisk. Blend in Cool Whip Lite. Add apples, marshmallows, and pecans. Mix well to combine. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Gently stir again just before serving.
