Grandma's Pistachio "Salad"

My kids thought Grandma's greatest culinary delight was the pistachio "salad" she made for them. The recipe originated in our family with my grandmother, who I believe served it as a dessert. I just found it on the Kraft recipes site, and they definitely call it a dessert. I think it's kinda retro, and would look nice at a potluck dinner, served in a crystal bowl.

Pistachio Pineapple Marshmallow Dessert

1 pkg JELL-O pistachio flavoured instant pudding mix
1 - 20 oz tin crushed pineapple, undrained
500 mL Cool Whip
1 c mini marshmallows
1/2 c walnut pieces, optional

Mix pudding mix with undrained pineapple and walnuts, if using. Fold in Cool Whip and marshmallows. Chill.
