The first time I had this was in the mid 1970’s when my husband was in the Marine Corps and we lived in North Carolina , I didn’t have it again until a few years ago and now I make it occasionally. It’s so good. 💕
Hello Calvin and Marie. This recipe looks delicious ! Thank you for sharing this recipe. Will definitely make this for the next church potluck. 👍🥰👍😋😋😋😋😋❤️
You can’t beat an old classic recipe like Watergate Salad. I’ve eaten this my entire life and it still remains one of my favorite desserts. I hope you and Calvin are feeling well, God bless you both.
1n 1970s my mom made this 1 Sunday each month to have with Sunday's dinner. I'm a only child and my dad & I loved it. Would believe we could eat it all. 😋🤣😋
Hello Calvin and Marie. My goodness, this dessert takes me back many years ago.. in the 70s to be honest.. at a family Thanksgiving gathering. Now, it's been many years since I had it. I must make it and reminisce of the old days. Thank you for sharing! Have a beautiful and blessed day!
Hi,Calvin and Marie, I love Watergate salad. The first time i had it,my neighbor fixed it and it was delicious. Yours looks good, i haven't had it in a while. Sending continued prayers to y'all. Be blessed and enjoy the rest of ya'll's week. ❤❤❤
Marie This is one of my favorite desserts. My mom used to make it when I was growing up so it had to be late 1960s or early 70s. I could eat that whole bowl. Yummy
👋 kids, I just looked up history of the name of this salad. Seems the chef at the hotel made it on occasion. Looks refreshing. I'll try it . Thanks ! 🤗 🤗
We've been having a bad snow storm all day and just got our power back after 12 hours. Haven't had Watergate Salad in many, many years. When I lived with my aunt, she would make this and since it was called salad, we got to eat it with our meal instead of waiting for dessert! Thanks for sharing your time with us and for bringing up some fun memories. - Laura
Good afternoon Calvin and Marie. Haven't had this in years. Remember making it myself many years ago. Thanks for the reminder. Take care. Sending 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.
Thank you Marie! The name of this dessert transports me to teenage years when Watergate was in the news. It’s a life time ago, but Calvin’s memories of eating it back then were fun to hear. Blessings to you both.
Hi Calvin and Marie, I'm not sure when I first ate Watergate Salad but I have always loved it. I have since started making it using Sugar Free Pistachio Jello and Sugar free or Lite Cool Whip. I roast my Pecans a little bit before putting them in the salad. It gives the pecans a great flavor. Just thought I would share in case anyone wanted a low calorie or low sugar version...but both versions are delicious! Thanks for sharing and God Bless!!
Just made it for our Sunday dessert! I had pistachios on hand and crushed them and used them instead of the pecans. First time for this Canadian gal! Licked the spoon and spatula....it was so yummy and such a quick easy recipe! Best thing about it? After a big meal no one usually wants dessert...but I don't think anyone will pass this light creamy dessert! Thank you again for sharing it!! ❤ 💐
Good morning. I have some catching up to do of the videos. I have never had this salad before it looks delicious I'm definitely going to make this ...sending prayers and sunshine 🌞 your way ❤
Hello Calvin and Marie. I have made this for years and I call it pistachio pudding, but I have also heard it called Watergate Salad. Great dessert. Take care. Mrs Lonnie
Hi Marie! Yummmmm! I believe the first time I had watergate salad was when my Mama made it. She always made it for Christmas. She passed away in 2018 so now I make it as one of our desserts for Christmas. I don't add the nuts. I've never added a cherry on the top but I think I will now. I have all the ingredients on hand. I think I will make that for our dessert one day this week. Have a great day!
This is a real favorite of mine and I think I first had it at a pot luck years ago. Now I make it when we want something special for dessert. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy!❤❤❤
I don't know when I first had it but I remember it's good!! So easy too! I may try a sugar-free or lower sugar version by using sugar-free pudding. Always enjoy your videos!! On your opening video, you show a chocolate dessert right before the tuna noodle casserole (at 0:22). Can you tell me what that is? It looks awesome and I'd like to try it. Thanks!!
Hello from the Netherlands, To be honest l never had it. Maybe becouse it is not known here, but it looks so yummie. I will try it dor sure. Onluy hope l can find all of the ingrediants. Otherwise l have to improvise. Thank you for your great video's Greetings frm Marco

Thank you, Marie! That looks delicious!

I love that salad
The first time I had Watergate Salad was an Easter party when I was 7; I ran away with the whole bowl! Hooked ever since
Just made it for our Sunday dessert! I had pistachios on hand and crushed them and used them instead of the pecans. First time for this Canadian gal! Licked the spoon and spatula....it was so yummy and such a quick easy recipe! Best thing about it?

Yes, it is great for dessert any time. I wish I still had some right now. I'm glad that you enjoyed this dessert.
Marie

This is a great dessert that you can enjoy any time.
Funny!!! After your Easter video i was going to ask if you could do this recipe! I’ve had ambrosia but never watergate. It looks amazing.
Yes Marie it’s better after sitting in the frigid a couple of hours and as MeMe says the ingredients get acquainted with one another!
This is a real favorite of mine and I think I first had it at a pot luck years ago. Now I make it when we want something special for dessert. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy!❤❤❤

@@SouthernCountryLiving most welcome
It's been a while I made this. When my Mom and I went to Shoney's we would get watergate salad from their salad bar.
Yes, I remember that Shoney's served this also.
I'll be honest, I've never had a Watergate salad😅 I'm too late for that!
I can’t stand marshmallows …? Can I substitute anything
You could add some slices of bananas.
Some people put coconut in their's. First time I ate it was at a family reunion.
Yes, it is good with coconut also.
The first time I ate, it was at my in-laws.
As long as it isn't a Biden recipe, I'll try it out! 😢😂
I love watergate salad, I have been making it for years. I got it from a neighbor . when I make mine I always let it set overnight and I like extra nuts. Take care you too,and Got Bless
