Description

A creamy and refreshing Watergate Salad made with crushed pineapple, pistachio pudding, mini marshmallows, chopped pecans, and cool whip.


Ingredients

Scale

1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
1 (3.4-ounce) package pistachio pudding mix
2 cups mini marshmallows
1 cup chopped pecans
1 (8-ounce) container cool whip


Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple with the pistachio pudding mix.
Once well combined, add the mini marshmallows and chopped pecans, stirring until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the Cool Whip until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Before serving, garnish with maraschino cherries if desired.

Notes

Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes helps the flavors meld and the texture to firm up.
