Description
Watergate Salad Delight is a creamy and refreshing dessert salad made with pistachio pudding, crushed pineapple, mini marshmallows, and nuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup pistachio pudding mix (instant)
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple and pistachio pudding mix. Stir until well blended and the pudding mix is fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the mini marshmallows and chopped nuts, folding them in carefully to avoid breaking them.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill.
- Serve chilled, garnished with additional nuts or a sprinkle of coconut if desired.
Notes
- For a tropical twist, add shredded coconut or diced bananas to the salad.
- Substitute the pistachio pudding with vanilla or cheesecake pudding for a different flavor profile.
