WATERGATE SALAD



Watergate Salad image

The combination of fresh whipped cream with pineapple and marshmallows makes this pistachio-flavored classic an enduring showstopper. Our version adds a bit of cream cheese to the whipped cream, providing a welcome tang to the sweet notes. Although the origin of the name might be cloudy (some say it was a newspaper that renamed Kraft's pistachio pineapple delight with the name of the famous Washington, D.C. hotel), no one will dispute its appeal at the dessert table.

Time 4h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups heavy cream, chilled
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
One 20-ounce can crushed pineapple in juice
One 3.4-ounce box instant pistachio pudding mix, such as Jell-O
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup mini marshmallows
8 maraschino cherries, drained

Steps:

  • Slowly whisk the heavy cream into the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until very smooth, then increase the speed to medium high and beat until medium-stiff peaks form.
  • Combine the pineapple (with juice), pistachio pudding mix and 3/4 cup of the walnuts in a separate bowl until the pudding mix is dissolved.
  • Fold in the marshmallows and 2 cups of the whipped cream-cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 4 hours.
  • To serve, spoon into small bowls and top with the remaining whipped cream-cream cheese mixture, remaining 1/4 cup walnuts and the maraschino cherries.

OLD-FASHIONED WATERGATE SALAD RECIPE

Categories     Dessert     Salad     Side Dish

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 oz Cool Whip ((one small container))
1 package pistachio pudding mix (3.4oz box)
20 oz crushed pineapple (drained)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup Shredded coconut (optional)

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.

WATERGATE SALAD (AUTHENTIC)



Watergate Salad (Authentic) image

This Watergate Salad Recipe was initially called Pistachio Pineapple Delight when it first debued in the 1970's, and only canned pineapple was used. This easy and simple Watergate recipe has since been varied to use other canned fruits as well. How and why the name was changed to Watergate is a mystery. Some people think it has a lot to do with the Watergate Scandals that were prevalent during that time. Whatever the name is - Watergate or Pistachio Pineapple Delight - it is the results of the recipe that are important and this easy and simple Watergate recipe has lots of flavour. Although the original recipe called for canned pineapples, fruit cocktail seems to have become more of a favourite choice. Canned diced peaches or mandarins work really well in this recipe also. So, pick your choice of fruit and get stirring.
