Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a nine-by-13-inch baking pan by greasing and flouring it, and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, oil, milk and vanilla until it's smooth. Beat in the cake mix, pudding mix and salt. If you want to make your cake a bit greener, add some green food coloring, too.
Add 1/4 cup of the chopped pistachios to the mixture, and pour it into your prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool, and then top it with the whipped topping and the rest of the chopped pistachios.
