Instructions

  1. Drain the juices from the crushed pineapple into a large bowl, reserving the pineapple in the can. Whisk the pudding mix into the pineapple juice.
  2. Stir in the crushed pineapple, marshmallows, pecans, & coconut if using. Fold in the whipped topping.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 48 hours before serving.
  4. Garnish with additional whipped topping and a cherry for serving.

Notes

  • Coconut is optional but we love it.  This dish is best made ahead of time so the marshmallows soften and the flavors blend.
  • Leftover Watergate salad can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days. Mix well before serving again. 
  • Freeze for up to 3 months in an airtight container; thaw, stir, and enjoy.
