Easy Watergate Salad Recipe
A creamy, sweet, and nutty no-bake dessert, Watergate Salad blends pistachio pudding, crushed pineapple, mini marshmallows, Cool Whip, and pecans into one irresistible treat. Great for potlucks, parties, or a nostalgic bite anytime.
- 1 package package instant pistachio pudding mix
- 1 can crushed pineapple
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- ½ cup pecans chopped
- 8 ounce container Cool Whip thawed
Combine the pistachio pudding mix (dry) and the entire can of crushed pineapple (juice included) in a large mixing bowl. Stir until the pudding dissolves and thickens slightly.
Stir in mini marshmallows and chopped pecans, making sure everything is evenly coated.
Gently fold in the Cool Whip with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix to keep it fluffy.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
