Watergate Pistachio Salad
This creamy, fluffy dessert is always a hit. A wonderful recipe for any birthday party, BBQ or family gathering.

- 1 package JELL-O Pistachio Instant Pudding
- 1 20-ounce can crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 1 1/2 cups Jet Puffed Mini Marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 1/2 cups Cool Whip, thawed
Instructions
- Combine pudding mix, pineapple, nuts, marshmallows and cool whip in a large bow. Gently stir until combined.
- Cover the mixture and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
I like to serve this Pistachio Salad in small, individual bowls. But you can also serve it in a large bowl and have people put it on a plate. No matter how you serve it, it’s sure to be a hit. The pistachio flavor is definitely there, but not overwhelming. And the level of sweetness is just right!
Hope you’ll give this one a try…
From my kitchen to yours,
