Watergate Salad

Perhaps one of the most popular fares of pistachios is Watergate Salad. An unknown person during the scandal of the same name, is said to have given this dessert it's name. Some say, the Kraft Corporation titled it but this hasn‘t been proven. The best known theory is that a reporter gave it the name, and it stuck.

Watergate Salad

2 instant pistachio puddings
1 can crushed pineapple
1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
2 containers whipped topping


Put pudding mix and crushed pineapple in medium sized mixing bowl. Mix well. Add marshmallows and whipped topping. Mix well again. Cover and place in refrigerator. It takes approximately 2-3 hours to completely chill. Serves up to 10 people as a dessert or side dish.

Some other options are adding coconut or maraschino cherries or adding oranges instead of pineapple.

This recipe can easily be turned into a low sugar one by using sugar free pudding and sugar free whipped topping. I have also discovered sugarfree marshmallows online here. They may be found at your local health food store also.
