INGREDIENTS
prep time: 10 MINS cook time: 10 MINS
Mix pudding and pineapple. In a large bowl, combine the undrained pineapples and the pistachio instant pudding mix. Stir together until the pudding mix is fully dissolved. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 5 minute to let the pudding firm up.
Fold Cool Whip. Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and gently fold in the Cool Whip.
Add marshmallows and nuts. Add the marshmallows and chopped nuts and fold them in until they are well mixed.
Chill. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
HOW LONG DOES WATERGATE SALAD NEED TO CHILL? You will want to chill your Watergate Salad for at least 30 minutes prior to serving. This allows the ingredients to set for enhanced flavor.
CAN WATERGATE SALAD BE MADE A DAY AHEAD? Yes! In fact I recommend you make it the night before, or first thing in the morning on party day. When it can sit in the refrigerator, all of those flavors will meld together, the marshmallows will soften a little, and the Watergate Salad will firm up a little.
