1 pack accini [find on pasta aisle]
2 medium cans mandarin oranges
1 can crushed pineapple [or process pineapple from making drinks cups]
2 cups mini marshmallows
1 medium container of cool whip
one pack of lemon pie filling [not instant, the cook type, there is a huge difference in how the salad will turn out using the instant type and its not good]
place cup of accini in a glass bowl and cover with 2 cups of water, place in the microwave on high for a few minutes[the time depends on your microwave I use 5 minutes for this] cook like rice till it has absorbed most or all of the liquid.
on the stove, treat it like rice and bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer and cover waiting about 20 minutes for it to absorb all or most of the liquid.
In a separate saucepan pour the liquid from the oranges and the juice from the pineapple into this pour the lemon pie filling and prepare it according to the package directions.dump the accini, the oranges and the pineapple into a large serving bowl,spoon the pie filling over it and mix, store in fridge, just before serving, break it up as it thickens, and add the mini marshmallows and cool whip. it doesn't last more than a day, not because it spoils but because it gets consumed very quickly, if it does last, well, it stores in the fridge nicely for about a week.
