Recipe for Watergate Salad
Watergate salad made its debut on the American food scene in the mid-1970s. Although I'm hard-pressed to find a connection between this sweet and creamy Jello and Cool Whip salad and the Watergate Hotel break-ins, perhaps there is one. Or perhaps the Watergate salad recipe got its name from another source.The traditional Watergate salad recipe includes just pistachio pudding, pineapple, marshmallows, nuts and Cool Whip. This recipe for Watergate salad also includes coconut.
Ingredients:
- 1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple
- 1 3.5 oz. package pistachio pudding and pie filling
- 2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- 2 cups frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
Preparation:
- Drain the pineapple, reserving 1/4 cup of the juice.
- Place the pineapple and reserved juice in a large bowl. Add the pudding mixes, miniature marshmallows, pecans and coconut. Stir well.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is well-combined, but not soupy. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
