OLD-FASHIONED WATERGATE SALAD RECIPE
Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Make sure that pineapple is drained first.
- Stir to fold ingredients together so that pudding dissolves completely and the nuts and marshmallows are evenly distributed.
- I recommend covering and placing in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes to an hour -- I think it gives the flavors a little extra time to meld together. However, you can serve immediately if you like.

Tips:
- Use fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple is the best way to get the most flavor out of your Watergate salad. If you can't find fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well.
- Don't overcook the pudding. The pudding should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, but it shouldn't be too thick or it will be difficult to stir into the salad.
- Chill the salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and make the salad more refreshing.
- Garnish the salad with chopped nuts or whipped cream. This will add a nice finishing touch and make the salad more festive.
Conclusion:
Watergate salad is a classic Hawaiian dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and refreshing. So next time you're looking for a new salad to try, give Watergate salad a try. You won't be disappointed.
