    @catblazer4343 Před rokem +23

    Love Watergate!! I don’t add pecans or sour cream. Just 4 ingredients; pistachio pudding, crushed pineapple with juice, mini marshmallows and cool whip. I make a day ahead so all the flavors seep into the marshmallows. So dang good!!

      I was not taught to put cherries in the salad. I do however use bunny marshmallows at Easter and the Christmas trees at Christmas.

    We are allergic to soy so we just whip up 4oz of heavy whipping cream for ours instead of the cool whip. :) The pudding takes care of it, I've not had to use any stabilizers in it. Of course it never lasts long enough!

    I had never even heard of Watergate salad until yesterday. My aunt dines at the Watergate sometimes as she has worked in D.C. for decades. I'd bet she has tried it. I attended an Orange County party where nearly everyone had known the Nixons. Their great grandchildren pointed out to me how they served Shasta soda. I figured that was how they stayed old money. That's a lot of marshmallows!

    I made this forever in South Carolina and my Southern family loves it. I made it up North for a party everyone kept asking what it was and never touched it …. That disappointed me because I know it is so good. Just sweet … they missed a very nice dessert 😊

    • @jstan7311
      @jstan7311 Před rokem +2

      Well, this Maine gal and her whole family love it,! We do however, find that some families call similar dishes by other names, or make it with different fruit, or jello flavors.

    I made Watergate salad to take to a St. Patrick's Day party, and it was the first time I had ever made it. Then I made it again for my family at Easter but I came across your recipe. The addition of a bit of salt and the sour cream made it so much better!!

  • @patc.318
    @patc.318 Před rokem

    Hi Tammy! Watergate Salad has been a fave in my family for years, too. My crew has enjoyed it at family gatherings as well. My mother always toasted the pecans before chopping them. She always seemed to know just how much to toast without measuring and then would use the smaller pieces and any of the toasted "pecan meal" to sprinkle over the top of the salad as a garnish along with extra cherries as you did in this video. Thanks for the demo of your Watergate Salad recipe and for another video, y'all! ! 😊

Ive seen other versions but never anyone who made it like my grandmother did and I do. I dont use sour cream though; only difference. I still serve it in the colorful bowl set she used.
