Watergate Salad
 

I have not had this salad in like 40 years. I remember going to my Gram's and getting it at the local mom and pop food store.. I just came across a recipe and now I HAVE to make it... and I am sure my boys will not eat it...

Yummy

All the better ........ more for you! :D

I'll pass too. Just give me the fresh pineapple. DH would love it though as would DS 23. Thanks for the recipe.

OOOH, I love Watergate salad. I didn't know the name of it for a long time, so we called it Mom's (meaning me) green stuff. But I enjoy bit more than most of my family.

I never heard of it before other than Pres. Nixon.

Maybe I missed something here. I do not see the recipe for your Watergate salad..Help me find this.

Yes and my family still wants me to make it and potlucks love it too. Okay so have you made the Watergate cake?

My sister in law makes this...I've made it a few times...always feel so darn guilty when I eat it..but sure is yummy!
Not exactly health food LOL

Salad???? That's dessert!! Where did the name, "Watergate salad" come from??? Calling it one thing when it is clearly another???? LOL

oh my soooo good, i will dig out the recipe.......... healthy or not, it's all mine...........

There's lots of salad recipes that are more dessert than main course.
Try Honeymoon Salad, Ambrosia, Fruit Salad with vanilla sauce ...... and so on.

When I make this, everyone always likes it. I also add chopped dates.

It comes from an expensive Hotel by that name who came up with the recipe. The only reason we associate it with president Nixon is because of a coverup that happened during his presidency at this Hotel that caused him to be impeached.

Ohhhh I loved this salad .. thanks for the memories . Might have to make that today .. hmmm

I love it..

My family calls it "the green stuff" and I am now required (since my mom's passing) to bring this to every family function. I wonder if my poor son will be bringing it once I'm gone???? LOL

Running is the best exercises because it helps you get rid of the calorie consumption,
Walking, Running and adding mountains or an slant burns up up 180 calorie consumption in 30 minutes....

Love this, but never heard it called 'Watergate.' I grew up knowing it as 'Pistachio Salad.'

Its a very delicious salad and i like this.......its a sweet tasting salad
