I have so many cookbooks with recipes for Watergate Salad (and the many names by which it is known). In this video, I show you how I make Watergate Salad and I explain the variations that you can make to have a recipe that is perfect for your palate and that is truly you're own.
Here's what I use:
1 jar pineapple (do not drain liquid)
1 box Jello pistachio pudding mix
1 container Cool Whip
Marachino cherries
crushed pecans
Combine all ingredients and refrigerate for at least an hour. To make more decorate before serving, drain some cherries on a paper towel and add to the top and sprinkle on a little bit more crushed pecans.
This is a great recipe for church fellowship meals, family reunions, or anytime.

I bet shredded coconut would go amazing in this ❤ I used to love this growing up

That sounds like a good idea! I’ll have to try that sometime! Thanks for the suggestion!

Heavy whipping cream lasts as long as the watergate lasts. I prefer heavy whipped cream

Oh, this is great to know! Heavy cream is more expensive than cool whip so I've never experimented to try to make it work in recipes that call for cool whip. I will have to try that next time I make this. Thank you for the comment on this!

Thank you I'm in UK and can't get cool whip.

I’m glad some are keeping some of these Id recipes alive.I’ve embraced a more modern style of eating and cooking (to an extent ). But for some of us, these recipes are what our grandmothers made in our childhood. I’ll be making this soon . I like it with the grapes added.

Oh, I'm glad you found a video that brings back some memories. That's what it's all about for me! These old recipes have so many memories in them. I just love sharing these with everyone and it's so nice to hear when someone else has tried one of these recipes and remembers their grandmother or their mother or someone making it.

Ever thought of added pistachios on top?

I have heard that some people do that, but I'm such a fan of pecans, I just stick with those! I think it's a great idea, though, and it gives it some extra crunch and color!
