it tends to turn grainy and watery. If you prefer a touch more tang, stir in an extra spoonful or two of the reserved pineapple juice, but add it gradually so the dip doesn’t become runny. For a fluffier, almost dessert-salad style dip, gently fold in 1 to 2 cups of thawed whipped topping right before chilling, keeping in mind this adds sweetness and softness. You can also sprinkle a few finely chopped pecans or toasted coconut over the top for a bit of crunch, though that would technically make it more than three ingredients.
