This is a grandma recipe if I ever had one! Watergate salad has been around the block several times…and never fails to delight!

A simple salad made with pudding and cool whip. That has been on many many tables for many many years! Have you ever tried it?

Don’t let the funky color fool you…it’s really good!

Watergate Salad

1 3.5 oz box pistachio pudding

8 oz Cool Whip

1 20 oz can crushed pineapple with juice

1/2 c chopped pecans

1 1/2 c mini marshmallows

In a medium size bowl, combine the dry pudding mix with the can of pineapple. Fold in the cool whip, marshmallows, and pecans. Refrigerate overnight. Enjoy!

P.S. I love a side dish that tastes like dessert! It’s like getting 2 for 1!
