Watergate Salad
This salad is more like a dessert, as far as I’m concerned. I have been wanting to make this salad for a long time, I had a great reason this past Sunday when we had a few friends over for my son’s birthday dinner.
This salad is quick, easy and can be made the night before you need to serve it. It would make a great addition to your Thanksgiving meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 c. Mini Marshmallows
- 1 pkg (4 oz) Pistaschio Flavor Instant Pudding
- 1 can Crushed Pineapple, undrained (I drained it out of habit and the salad was a little dry)
- 1/2 c. Pecans, chopped
- 1 1/2 c. Whipped Topping, thawed
Directions:
Combine marshmallows, dry pudding mix, pineapple and nuts in a large bowl. Fold in whipped topping. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Yum! I love this salad!

I posted a recipe similar to this earlier in the summer–I loooovvve this stuff–it’s so good and so easy to make, don’t you wonder why we don’t make this kind of thing more often?

My husband is from Michigan and I am originally from Pennsylvania… I never understood why his family served this dish as a side!! To me it was a dessert!!
Either way — I just LOVE it!
