WATERGATE SALAD
The combination of fresh whipped cream with pineapple and marshmallows makes this pistachio-flavored classic an enduring showstopper. Our version adds a bit of cream cheese to the whipped cream, providing a welcome tang to the sweet notes. Although the origin of the name might be cloudy (some say it was a newspaper that renamed Kraft's pistachio pineapple delight with the name of the famous Washington, D.C. hotel), no one will dispute its appeal at the dessert table.

- Stir in the marshmallows, and then the walnuts.

- *Note: I usually make this salad the night/day before I'm going to serve it; this way it chills up nicely in the fridge. Also, I did use one (3.4 oz.) box of instant pudding mix for this recipe. I see Recipezaar would not let me post the exact ounces of pudding I used, when posting this recipe.

WATERGATE SALAD (AUTHENTIC)
This Watergate Salad Recipe was initially called Pistachio Pineapple Delight when it first debued in the 1970's, and only canned pineapple was used. This easy and simple Watergate recipe has since been varied to use other canned fruits as well. How and why the name was changed to Watergate is a mystery. Some people think it has a lot to do with the Watergate Scandals that were prevalent during that time. Whatever the name is - Watergate or Pistachio Pineapple Delight - it is the results of the recipe that are important and this easy and simple Watergate recipe has lots of flavour. Although the original recipe called for canned pineapples, fruit cocktail seems to have become more of a favourite choice. Canned diced peaches or mandarins work really well in this recipe also. So, pick your choice of fruit and get stirring.
