watergate salad
This classic Watergate Salad is a fresh blast from the past with crushed pineapple, pistachio pudding, pistachio nuts, mini marshmallows, and fresh whipped cream. This unique yet delicious salad is always a hit at potlucks, family reunions, holidays, and parties. It is the perfect side for those fresh grilled spring and summer meals. I love to serve this nostalgic dish with Spaghetti Salad, Broccoli Salad, and Creamy Pea Salad.
