Pistachio Pudding Cool Whip Salad

Here is one of my favorite side dishes to bring to a summer pot-luck - Pistachio Pudding Cool Whip Salad!
I remember as a child and teenager loving it when someone made a "salad" like this and brought it to picnics. I remember soon after I got out of college, and had to cook for myself, I decided I had to figure out how to make it myself. I was so super excited when I found out how simple it is to make.
