My daughter got this recipe from her mother-in-law. It's a delicious fruit salad. The only problem is it makes a LOT of salad, so it's best for large family gatherings or pot luck suppers/picnics.
Frog Eye Salad
Warning – Makes a LOT of salad.
Boil 1 lb. Acine de Pepe pasta (frog eye) in 3 quarts of water for 8 mins; drain.
In a small sauce pan combine:
1 cup sugar
3 Tbsp flour
Then add
2 cups pineapple juice
2 beaten eggs
Cook until thick. Remove from heat and add:
1 cup coconut
1 cup mini-marshmallows
1-20 oz can crushed pineapple (do not drain)
1-20 oz can pineapple tidbits (do not drain)
3 small cans mandarin oranges (drain these)
Mix well, then fold in:
1-14 oz tub Whipped Topping
Chill at least 8 hours.

This has always been one of my favorite salads. Thanks so much for the recipe!
This sounds like a good salad. I will have to give this a try next time I go to a family gathering.
Hi, LuAnn and Becky. Thanks for stopping by!
My granddaughter would LOVE this...especially because of the name. ;-)
Hi, Maeve. Yes, the kids do like the salad and the name!
Frog Eye Salad - the name would scare off my family.

Eeeeuwwww!!! Horrible title, but the recipe sounds delish. You haven't steered me wrong yet, Anna Kathryn. I'll have to try it.
