About Frog eye salad

Frog Eye Salad is a sweet and creamy dish originating from American cuisine, particularly popular in the Midwest. Despite its whimsical name, it contains no amphibians; the name comes from the round, pearl-like acini di pepe pasta that resembles small eyes. The salad combines this unique pasta with a rich blend of whipped topping, pineapple, mandarin oranges, shredded coconut, and a creamy egg custard. Mini marshmallows are often added for extra sweetness and texture. While Frog Eye Salad is a festive favorite, it is high in sugar and often considered more of a dessert than a nutritious side dish. However, it does incorporate fruits like oranges and pineapple, which provide vitamins and fiber. For a lighter version, healthier adaptations could include reducing added sugar or substituting the whipped topping with Greek yogurt for a protein boost.
