Feeling REALLY nostalgic over here thinking about Watergate Salad. Who else grew up with this delicious, green fluffy “salad” that’s actually a dessert?! 🙋🏻♀️
.
My mom would make it for special occasions/summer picnics and I would always sneak extra scoops straight from the fridge. 🙊 It was my FAVORITE! .
All you watergate salad fans are in luck, because I created a REAL FOOD watergate salad recipe — no marshmallows, no instant pudding and real pistachios! It’s creamy with vanilla Greek yogurt, refreshing from sweet pineapple and a touch crunchy from the granola and pistachios. Y’all will flip over this retro recipe makeover! 💚 Who’s ready to make a batch this summer?

So yummy!😍
Woa I’ve never heard of that!
Looks and sounds amazing
Yummmm💥🙌🏻
Yes! I grew up with Watergate Salad, too! It’s so good. I definitely need to try your healthy version. I made your pumpkin almond butter muffins for a friend who is taking chemo for breast cancer. I always make her your recipes, because I know they are good for her. I also print out the recipe so she can see exactly what’s in it and possibly make it herself when she is feeling better. I always tell people to go to your website and find all the good recipes. 😊
Oh I remember it! Your mom did make the best ever. Was so excited for family gatherings so I could have some. Can’t wait to try this version.

Had never heard of this till last year…and I wasn’t a fan. I absolutely can get behind your version, though!
Love this! My mom makes it for the holidays!
Such a cool idea 👌
🙏🏻😊
To this day, no holiday meal is complete without my mom-in-law’s Watergate “salad.” Now the next generation makes it!
Looks so delicious hun 😍😍😍
Oh wow this looks delicious 🤤💕
I DID! used to love it lol. My mom let me make it for special occasions sometimes 😎
My mom has made this every year for Easter/summer gatherings, but she calls it Pistachio salad 🤷♀️. Sooooo delish and I always looked forward to it…I love it! I’ll have to continue the tradition with your recipe! 💚
Love this makeover!! I’ve never actually tried the real thing but it sounds so good!
