What a coincidence! I was just thinking how i missed my grandmoms watergate salad now i can make it 😋😍 sweet memories ❤

Love Watergate!! I don’t add pecans or sour cream. Just 4 ingredients; pistachio pudding, crushed pineapple with juice, mini marshmallows and cool whip. I make a day ahead so all the flavors seep into the marshmallows. So dang good!!

I was not taught to put cherries in the salad. I do however use bunny marshmallows at Easter and the Christmas trees at Christmas.

I had never even heard of Watergate salad until yesterday. My aunt dines at the Watergate sometimes as she has worked in D.C. for decades. I'd bet she has tried it. I attended an Orange County party where nearly everyone had known the Nixons. Their great grandchildren pointed out to me how they served Shasta soda. I figured that was how they stayed old money. That's a lot of marshmallows!

We are allergic to soy so we just whip up 4oz of heavy whipping cream for ours instead of the cool whip. :) The pudding takes care of it, I've not had to use any stabilizers in it. Of course it never lasts long enough!

Hi Tammy! Watergate Salad has been a fave in my family for years, too. My crew has enjoyed it at family gatherings as well. My mother always toasted the pecans before chopping them. She always seemed to know just how much to toast without measuring and then would use the smaller pieces and any of the toasted "pecan meal" to sprinkle over the top of the salad as a garnish along with extra cherries as you did in this video. Thanks for the demo of your Watergate Salad recipe and for another video, y'all! ! 😊

Greetings from 🇺🇸 Ft Bragg. NC 🇺🇸 area. Being from middle Tennessee, I thought my grandmother was the only one that made this and called it Watergate Salad! Ive seen other versions but never anyone who made it like my grandmother did and I do. I dont use sour cream though; only difference. I still serve it in the colorful bowl set she used.

Made a watergate cake for Christmas, dont forget to get 2 packages of pistacio pudding, 1 for the cake and 1 for the whipped topping frosting, used dream whip instead of regular frozen whipped topping, good way to use up tail ends of nut and coconut.
