    Default Watergate Salad

    Had to make this just because I have not had it in a long time

    Pistachio instant pudding mix
    20 oz can of crushed pineapple
    cup of mini marshmellos
    1 1/2 c cool whip
    1/4 of crushed walnuts or pecans ( optional )

    dissolve the pudding in crushed pineapple and add the rest... chill and enjoy

    Nuts are optional... I like it either way...

    That really sounds like a good idea for tomorrow's lunch. Now, do I have the supplies or do I need to go to the store?

    I used to make this salad all the time, but it didn't have that name back then...

    I make one similar, just made it last night. I needed something light and tasty I could use for DH, who is bed bound for a few weeks due to foot surgery and unable to put weight on his foot for 6-8 wks. Here is my recipe:
    Any flavor of dry jello, 1 can of (drained) crushed pineapple, 1 carton of small curd cottage cheese, 1 carton of cool whip,(chopped nuts if desired) stir all together well then serve or - refrigerate. For the 2 of us I use the small box of jello, small can of pineapple, small cartons of
    cool whip and cottage cheese. My family's favorite flavor of jello for this is lime.

    I love this salad too, but am wondering where the name came from: Watergate ? Anyone know ?

    It was supposedly served at the Watergate Hotel. In our family we just call it "Green Stuff"
