Instructions
- Stir the pistachio pudding and crushed pineapple in a medium bowl until well combined.
- Add the marshmallows and nuts and stir until evenly distributed.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until well combined.
- Refrigerate the Watergate salad tightly covered until ready to serve.
- Garnish with additional whipped topping, nuts, or a cherry if desired.
Notes
- Mixing the pineapple and the pudding first helps evenly distribute the instant pudding mix. If you dump everything all at once, you may get clumpy pudding powder areas.
- Use crushed pineapple rather than chunks for a smooth texture.
- Do not drain the pineapple. You will need the juice to help the pudding set.
- Be careful adding the whipped topping. Stirring too much can cause it to collapse.
