 Classic Watergate Salad is always a favorite ..or as we called it "Pistachio Salad" Gotta luv this easy fruit salad made with mini marshmallows, crunchy walnuts, pineapple chunks, pistachio pudding and CoolWhip. Who could not LOVE this green fluff! I like to add maraschino cherries to mine too. I would generally try to make it for St. Patrick's Day or my son's birthday on March 1st as we knew spring was on it's way :)
A simple, quick and easy fruit salad or dessert.
