Pistachio Pudding Salad

pistachio pudding labeled

We always called this Watergate Salad.. don’t know why!! But that doesn’t matter because its delicious – And it’s a great dish for the kids to make – it’s that easy.

Ingredients:
  • 1 (3.4 oz.) pistachio pudding package
  • 1 (20 oz.) can crushed pineapple
  • 1 (8 oz.) carton whipped topping
  • 1 cup miniature marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

We always add 1 C halved green grapes, and a few maraschino cherries for color. (Pat dry with a paper towel, so the red coloring doesn’t bleed into the mixture.)
