Watergate Salad (Holiday DESSERT - VANITY)
me ^ | December 19, 2016 | me

Posted on 12/19/2016 4:22:19 PM PST by SaveFerris

3 (THREE) Boxes Pistachio Pudding (3.5 oz approx. - often 3.4)
1 can Crushed Pineapple (20 oz. approx.)
3/4-1 cup milk (I prefer whole milk)
2 bags Pecan pieces (or about 4 oz)
1 bag Mini Marshmallows (I like the colored / flavored ones yellow/green/pink/orange)
2 tubs Cool-Whip or similar whipped topping

In a large cake mixing bowl,

1) Empty the whole can of Pineapple AND juice
2) put in 2 (TWO) of the contents of Pistachio Pudding
3) put in the milk
4) put in the pecan pieces
5) (optional) - put in about 1/2 can of fruit cocktail with cherries / 1/2 juice (maybe 1/4 cup less milk)

Mix BY HAND with spatula or plastic / wood spoon until evenly-distributed

6) Fold in the 2 tubs of whipped topping
7) Put in the contents of the 3rd box of Pistachio pudding

AGAIN, Mix BY HAND with spatula or plastic / wood spoon until evenly-distributed

Now add in the amount of marshmallows you want - I go with about 1 - 2 cups - approx 2/3 of a 10 oz bag.

Fold in gently with spatula until evenly-distributed.

Chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Enjoy!!

In 13 I post a pic of the box(es) I usually get. It’s cheap.

Baking aisle, I think. Along with the marshmallows.

Pineapple (crushed be sure to get crushed) and Fruit Cocktail on canned fruits / vegetables aisle (at my store).

Three things make food taste and taste good:
1. Salt
2. Sugar
3. Fat

Cashews are 75% fat. With salt...oh my. Their fat content is what makes them sooo deeeelicious.
Nuts have protein but...way too much fat.
Oh well, it WAS fun while it lasted.

I can not describe the Hell of the past 8 years.

We can not get rid of this power clown too soon for me. What a Manchurian Candidate.

If you can't find 'Cool whip' (hear there's a shortage) Make your own. It is infinitely better tasting. There's just no comparison. If you've never made your own, you've no idea how delicious whipped cream is. (It's like comparing the awful cranberry glop that comes in the cans to making your own)

Just pick up a carton of 'whipping cream' at the grocery, add a bit of sugar and vanilla and whip for a few until it's the right consistency. You'll never buy 'Cool Whip' or the likes again!

Lord willing, January 2 I begin a previous diet.
(boo-hoo) but it is necessary.

Losing some suet is INFINITELY better than ending up in a wheelchair, hospital, hospice or coffin.

Well, I suppose one could substitute a few things - like 2% milk.

But I don’t know what will happen. Today was Round 3 on this so it’s going well.

Drink much water. It makes you THINK like you’re doing something good, well, besides urinating 77 times a day.

Hope y’all enjoy.

Rumor is, some journalist in Chicago (guess there used to be some) randomly-attached the name Watergate and it stuck.

So.

Here we are. It ain’t salad to me but that’s just me.

For G. Gordon Liddy, we have Rat Pie, Rat Pudding and Strawberry Tart.

Any rat in it?

I’ll have Strawberry Tart with not so much rat in it....

I view the marshmallows as electrons and the pudding / whipped cream as their orbital sphere - a strong attractive force binding the particles together.

Good luck. If you’ve got kids, they’ll love the multi-colored marshmallows (is my guess).

Follow the above exactly and you should be 100% successful!

Let us know!

I make this every year. Everyone loves it. Last year, I couldn’t find pistachio pudding, so I used cheesecake flavored instant pudding and everyone raved about it.
