And here's the perfect salad for honoring this day that literally changed how I viewed our government officials from that day forward ...
Watergate Salad
Serves 8
1 (1 pound 4 ounce) can of crushed pineapple,
in 100% pineapple juice, drained - reserve the juice
2 small packages of instant pistachio pudding mix
1 large (16 ounce) tub of Cool Whip, thawed
2 cups of miniature marshmallows
1 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts, optional
Drain the pineapple, reserving the juice. Stir together half of the pineapple juice with the pudding mix until well blended. Gently fold in the Cool Whip, and then carefully stir in the pineapple, marshmallows, and pecans. Add additional juice only if needed. You want this to be moist, but not runny. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour or preferably overnight.

I love this stuff... I make it all the time! It is perfect for family get togethers! especially around christmas!!!
Boy, you just took me back in time. This was a staple on my grandmother's table when I was growing up. She fixed it ALL the time. I haven't had it in years, maybe it's time to again.
I am definitely gonna try this. Thanks.
What an interesting combination of ingredients! sounds yummy and cool for a hot summer day!
Wow, this sounds rather tasty! Thanks for sharing!
I just had a flashback ! Back in the day my grandma used to make this everytime we had any kind of holiday or family gathering. Even as a kid I loved this stuff! The other cousins,with much less sophisticatd palettes, wouldn't touch it ! I just called it green salad? and grandma knew what I meant. I used to think she made it just for ME. So yummy,thanks for the recipe and the memories.
