This salad, while a tradition at every holiday and get together in my family, is not exactly the traditional salad. And, for most, the bright green color doesn't exactly peak any interest.
But it's delicious!
The ingredients come together for a smooth dish that has little bits of nuts, pineapple, and even marshmallows in it!
Watergate Salad
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant pistachio pudding mix
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, with juice
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
Directions
In a large bowl, mix together pudding mix, pineapple with juice, marshmallows, and nuts. Fold in whipped topping. Chill.

YUUMMY! I tried this for the first time last year and I loved it. The flavor's so addicting too. It wasn't too appealing, but I encourage everyone to try it
1Yeah, no one's ever interested in it at first glance, but at first bite?
Heaven.
2I've had this...very good!
3OHHHH I have had this! I dont' remember who makes it in my family. I would never eat it when I was little.
4OMG i made this this weekend for the first time! I added madarin oranges too. yummmmmmmy. its pretty much all i ate all weekend!
5See! It is delicious!
And oranges are a great addition!
6my mom makes this but she makes another one called Heavenly Hash that is to die for. Its similar but has like fruit cocktail in it or something. Ill have to raid her recipe box next time and let you know
When I'm good, I'm very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better!
7my mom makes this too!!! i really cannot stand the pistachio with pineapple combo, and the color really makes me cringe.
8Mmmm, I make this a lot - I leave out the pineapple and put in red seedless grapes. I'm always asked to bring this to family get togethers!
9OMG! I LOVE this stuff! never heard of it called Watergate Salad though. Cool.
10There's another similar one, without pistachios. They even have it at the deli at the grocery store, they call it Hawaiian Delight.
11What names does everyone else call it by? This is always the one that I've heard.
