Ambrosia Watergate Salad
My Ambrosia Watergate Salad Recipe is heavenly creamy, light and fluffy, and absolutely delicious with the added crunch from pecans or walnuts. I have taken this side dish to countless potlucks and holiday dinners such as Thanksgiving. This ambrosia watergate salad is a definite keeper for a delightful mix of reasons that make it a timeless favorite.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, mix the pistachio pudding mix with the juice from the crushed pineapple. Whisk it until there is no more clumps of powder remain.
- Step 2
Next using a rubber spatula gently fold in the Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream until combined. Do not overmix, as doing so will make the consistency denser than it should be.
- Step 3
Then, to the pudding and whipped cream mixture, add the crushed pineapple, mini marshmallows, and chopped pecans; fold carefully until combined.
- Step 4
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours, or overnight, for a more flavorful salad. This will allow the marshmallows to soften and really soak up the flavor.
