Is it a salad or is it dessert? It's both! Watergate salad is a throwback dish straight from the 1970s and now it's making a come back. Similar to ambrosia salad, this vibrant green fluff is classically made with marshmallows, pecans, pineapple, boxed pistachio pudding mix, and lots of whipped topping. But go ahead and kick that whipped topping to the curb for this version. Dreamy homemade whipped cream makes all the difference in this grandma-approved recipe. Add toasted nuts and a cherry on top and get ready to rediscover your love for the church potluck favorite!
