Frogeye salad (also frog-eye salad or frog's eye salad) is a type of sweet pasta salad (dessert salad) made with small, round acini di pepe pasta, whipped topping and egg yolks. Fruit, such as mandarin oranges and pineapples, are often mixed in, and it is sometimes topped with marshmallows, all of which contribute to the sweetness while adding variety.[1] The humorous name obviously refers to the pasta looking like frog's eyes.
The salad has a strong regional presence in Idaho and Utah and surrounding states (the Mormon Corridor),[2] especially among members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
