Frog’s Eye Salad recipe
This old time favorite is delicious asa salad or dessert. The recipe uses a tiny round pasta calledAcine di’ Pepe (like orzo, but round) which gives it an interestingtexture similar to tapioca.
This fruity pasta salad is also reminiscentof a creamy, fruited rice pudding, especially when individualservings are dusted with a bit of ground cinnamon. For a refreshingchange, serve a small bowl for breakfast along with a slice ofbuttered toast or English muffin.

My family has loved Frog Eye salad since we first tasted it at a family reunion in the 1980 s. I adapted it for my families liking taking out the coconut This was always a favorite but I haven t made it or had it since having to go gluten free ?? wondering if tapioca would work or if it would make it gummy? !
