Watergate Salad

  • 1

Ingredients

  • 1 (20 oz.) can crushed pineapple, with the juice (don't drain)
  • 1 (3.5 oz.) box instant pistachio pudding
  • 8 oz. frozen whipped topping
  • 1 cup nuts, chopped
  • 1 cup miniature marshmallows

Preparation

Step 1

Mix the pineapple with it's juice with the dry pudding until well blended. Mix in the whipped topping. Fold in the nuts and marshmallows.

Pour into a pretty glass bowl, cover and chill for at least 2 hours.

Mom had this same sort of dish, she would replace the pudding with any flavor of a red Jello and also add the cottage cheese. She called it "Pink Stuff"!! It was yummy!!!

It may sound weird, but my mom always mixed a small container of cottage cheese with it...it is very good


We always added pecans and a little bit of chopped maraschino cherries to ours for added flavor and color. :)

Adding the cottage cheese will give you some protein to balance the sugar value of this recipe without destroying the yumminess!

I use can mixed fruit and cream cheese no nuts added there are bits of nuts in pudding.
