I have made this forever! My kids called it “green gunk” and they loved it 💚💚💚

My grandmother introduced this to our family at Christmas time but she froze it and we sliced it up. Delicious. As a child I had no idea what Watergate was but we looked forward to my grandmother fixing this treat for our family.

Thank you for sharing. I might try to freeze mine❤️

You don’t have to drain the pineapple. Just dump it all in, it’s perfect every time.

Agree I was saying to myself why are you draining the pineapple

Good job I'm going to make some today if not today maybe tomorrow it looks yummy yummy😊

I have this mainly at Christmas, but I'll make several times throughout the year, and especially in the summer! I can eat the whole thing by myself! ☺😋

I'm right there with ya! It's especially good in the hot summertime. So refreshing 🥰

My sister in law used to make this on holidays. My daughter asked for it for Christmas. I'm going to add some cherries, for red and green. We are no longer part of that family, so it's nice to be able to do this for her. Thank you!

Sweet memories ❤️

I have been hunting for this recipe for YEARS! My mom and I had it at a family reunion and tried multiple different ways to duplicate it, but we thought she had used lime jello instead of pistachio pudding. Needless to say, we never got it right. My mom is gone now, but I wish she was alive today so I could show her this!

I've always heard that the head chef at the Watergate Hotel in Washington DC created this recipe and put it on the menu there. Later that same hotel became famous because President Nixon. Love your Old Country Roses china pattern. I have the same one and started for my daughters to collect. I've just subscribed because even though I live in Colorado, I know we'd be friends.

This is such a wonderful memory for me as my Grammy and I used to make this as a treat when I spent the night on the weekends. I miss her so much! This is a good pie as well, just put it in a graham cracker crust and chill it overnight : )

Why drain the pineapple seen many YT posts they never drain the pineapple I would say there’s no difference in taste

Midwest 1970s they called it Pistachio Fluff at the deli. Watergate Salad sounds more Posh!!!😉

Show us how you make your Chicken Salad 😌

Easier to mix entire can of pineapple and pudding together first

Have to have cherries

Here's a fun fact for I lived in Lawson Missouri just north of Kansas city. Tell me was I south of the Mason Dixon line?

Do you need to let it set before eating? Ty ❤️

No mam. Only pistachio pudding❤️

Add maraschino cherries, chocolate chips, mandarin oranges and almond slivers

I am actually surprised with this recipe you would use any other kind of nut besides pistachio which I think would be good in it since it already has pistachio pudding in it😅

I've wondered that too. Probably because we have lots of pecans in the South❤️

It's called Watergate because the building where the crime was committed was a greenish color.

Why are calling this Southern? You admitted that it was on the Jello container which was sold all over North America.

Because we Southerners love our Watergate Salad. It's something that's still wildly popular in the souther states. I can't speak for other states. Have a fabulous day!
