We're big fans of "fluff" salads in our house.
You know the stuff those creamy creations that are typically some concoction of fruit, whipped cream, and marshmallows ... with whatever various other ingredients thrown in. They're comfort food at its best!
But in our house, these fluffs never go by their real names. Nope, in our house they go simply by their color.

Cherry Fluff Salad to us? ... pink fluff. And classic Orange Pineapple Salad? ... yep, to us it's just orange fluff.
And what about this Pistachio Watergate Salad? Well, of course! To us it's just green fluff.
If I was to say to my husband, "Would you like me to make Pistachio Watergate Salad tonight?" He would look at me like I had three heads and have no idea what I was talking about. He'd probably say , "Water what??"
But green fluff? ... that he knows.
Which then also got me thinking about some of my other favorite green foods here on .
So I went back through the archives and pulled out 8 of my green favorites to share with you.
