It's Snack Time! - Watergate Salad




This week our fun snack was my all time favorite.

Watergate Salad!

Anyone who knows me and has been to any party of mine will tell you, there is never a shortage of this delicious treat on my watch. I absolutely love it.

A few years back, when Isabella was a baby, I did a blog post about Watergate Salad, and it was my pleasure to teach her how to make it now that she is four years old. We had a great time.

This recipe is easy and fun. Perfect for any kid!

To make your own, you will need:

1 cup miniature marshmallows 
1 pkg. pistachio flavor instant pudding 
1 can (20 oz.) crushed pineapple, undrained 
1-1/2 cups thawed whipped cream 
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)


Now, let's get started:

I just love the fun YouTube videos and your adorable daughter "cooking" the recipes. Such a great recipe for kids. I actually remember eating Watergate Salad at parties and in school. Its fruity and tasty. Thanks for posting the recipe.

The name "Watergate Salad" had me going, I thought it was a green salad with lettuce. Green salad with pistachio pudding is much more likely to get kids involved. Awesome job, Isabella!

This is the one dish I'm sure to bring to a fiesta. I may bring something different, buuuuut it's hard. I'm a sucker for Watergate Salad and will sit and eat the whole bowl myself. LOL

I've never heard of Watergate Salad and like @Ofelia I thought it was an actual salad.

My boys would love this type of salad, especially because they could make it on their own!

Great job Isabella! She's a natural :)

LOL.. I thought this was a lettuce or greens salad. I had no idea this was a dessert. Sounds good.
