Instructions

  1. Stir the pistachio pudding and crushed pineapple in a medium bowl until well combined.
  2. Add the marshmallows and nuts and stir until evenly distributed.
  3. Gently fold in the whipped topping until well combined.
  4. Refrigerate the Watergate salad tightly covered until ready to serve.
  5. 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.
