    I had never even heard of Watergate salad until yesterday. My aunt dines at the Watergate sometimes as she has worked in D.C. for decades. I'd bet she has tried it. I attended an Orange County party where nearly everyone had known the Nixons. Their great grandchildren pointed out to me how they served Shasta soda. I figured that was how they stayed old money. That's a lot of marshmallows!

    I made Watergate salad to take to a St. Patrick's Day party, and it was the first time I had ever made it. Then I made it again for my family at Easter but I came across your recipe. The addition of a bit of salt and the sour cream made it so much better!!

    Love Watergate!! I don’t add pecans or sour cream. Just 4 ingredients; pistachio pudding, crushed pineapple with juice, mini marshmallows and cool whip. I make a day ahead so all the flavors seep into the marshmallows. So dang good!!

    We are allergic to soy so we just whip up 4oz of heavy whipping cream for ours instead of the cool whip. :) The pudding takes care of it, I've not had to use any stabilizers in it. Of course it never lasts long enough!

    Hi Tammy! Watergate Salad has been a fave in my family for years, too. My crew has enjoyed it at family gatherings as well. My mother always toasted the pecans before chopping them. She always seemed to know just how much to toast without measuring and then would use the smaller pieces and any of the toasted "pecan meal" to sprinkle over the top of the salad as a garnish along with extra cherries as you did in this video. Thanks for the demo of your Watergate Salad recipe and for another video, y'all! ! 😊
