One of my favorites. I can remember my Mom making Watergate Salad for ever Holiday Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, 4th of July. She would add the cherries at Christmas. Fond memories of my Mom!
Every family has a different name. I grew up with another Jello dessert with cottage cheese, crushed pineapple, strawberry jello and cool whip. We always called it “pink goop”. Lol!
This has been one of my favorite holiday desserts since I was little. My Grandma would always make it for me, unfortunately she passed away a couple months ago so this will be my first Thanksgiving without her and her amazing Watergate.
This Watergate salad may be familiar to some who are my age, but new to others. Definitely a dessert. Oh so sweet and delicious! Give this one a try! Super simple and refreshing, perfect for a summer evening! You can get a printable version of this recipe on my website here: bit.ly/2NzgxIs
Watergate Salad. Very easy to make. Good idea for something to make for fellowship after church. Good to know the history, and that it was created a year before I was born.
I make this every Thanksgiving. It’s a staple. My family would riot if I left it out. I make Ambrosia for Easter and a cherry version for Christmas. I’ve always heard it was called “Watergate Salad” after the Watergate Hotel claiming the recipe came from one of their chefs. Love that you took the time to give the history behind this recipe.
Hay Noreen, my name is Doreen, I love ❤️ your videos, and your spunkyness, I am also a plus’s size Mom, and I love how you stand up for what you do. God bless you &. you’re family,& that includes your 4 legged babies.
My parents are from Springfield Missouri, you can't throw a rock without hitting a church and this is revival season. Summer time. It didn't matter if they were Baptist which is what we were raised as or not if they were having a revival or Vacation Bible School my Mother was sending us off to them. She didn't care where it was, she cared about how long her 5 children would be gone. They served this at every one of those churches.
My mom used to make this, but we didn't know what it was called. But my mom added _maraschino cherries;_ & instead of pecans, she used chopped _Snickers bars._ So delicious!
Made this for pot luck Thanksgiving dinner about 15 yrs ago, the bowl was a huge one from Tupperware. The family celebration I took it to had never had it, there was not one tsp left in the bowl. The recipe I used also called for maraschino cherries that was fantastic in the salad, need to drain and cut in half. Now being diabetic I use the sf pudding and sf Cool Whip, you honestly can not tell the difference.
One of my favorites, we used to do a frozen one that you put in cupcake liners. Mom made this for Thanksgiving or Christmas it was a special occasion type thing 😁😁😁
Please do the original homemade jello pudding pops!!! I loved the ones my mom made back in the seventies. We would mix them up, pour them into our popsicle mould (Tupperware of course), and then the torture of having to wait would begin. She finally figured out to make them at night before bed that way I would forget about them, and they would be ready for after lunch. Just the best treat on a summer afternoon!
Oh my goodness, my grandma used to make this at EVERY holiday dinner! Hers had pineapple and grated carrot. I didn't like it at all as a little kid but then it grew on me.
We always had Watergate salad for the holiday''s while I was growing up.. I make it for Christmas Eve/Christmas Day dinners. We make it without the marshmallow though. We just use the Pineapple, pudding mix and whipped topping.. We don't add extra nuts either.. I may try adding more nuts like you did... it sounds like it would add more of a crunch to it.
Loving the Jello salads. Next we must see a molded Jello salad with actual lettuce leaves inside. Just like my husband's grandmother apparently used to make. :) lol
AVeryHappyLife My grandma make orange jello with shredded carrots and crushed pineapple in it. I couldn’t even taste the Rae shredded carrots so I gobbled it up, she and a cafeteria served cut in squares on lettuce leaves plated. Yum!
I have never had this! We do a lime jello with whipped topping and canned pears. We call it “Green Glop” and it’s a Thanksgiving essential. Comes out the same color even though the only ingredient in common is the whipped topping!
NOREEN!!!!!! I DID NOT KNOW YOUR HUSBAND HAD MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. WELL- YOU 2 MAKE A GREAT COUPLE AND FAMILY!!!! MAY I SAY YOUR HUSBAND HAS A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR I LOVE HIS COMMENTS DURING THE VLOGS, I FIND HIM QUITE FUNNY😜😜😜
I know the years are different but this sounds like something that would be served at a Mad Men themed party. I know those were popular during the shows run.
I remember Watergate salad. It was good then and it’s good now. For the longest time I thought this was Ambrosia. Do you remember that Jello recipes cookbook? I think I have it in a box around here somewhere. 😂
Never heard of this salad - will definitely have to try it! Just a thought: could I use real whipped cream instead of True Whip? Do you think it would blend and hold up? Thank you for another great recipe!
Looks so refreshing and yummy! My mom use to make this often. Love the history behind it....maybe you can start to craft up a salad recipe using “Russian” dressing to be apart of the next scandalous part of history. 😉😂. Thanks for another great retro recipe!
covid made a lot of things disappear from deli counters far and wide and they have just never returned. Stores saw their bottom line improve with less overhead and they started seeing how much they were tossing and decided what they were paying for to go in the trashi. So there you go.
You could try. But yogurt is too thick and nothing like whipped topping. For a more similar substitute I recommend whipped cream that has been slightly sweetened and stabilized with gelatin.
We have this at Family Party's . It's also called Pistachio salad . Whatever it's called , it's good that's all that matters to my family n friend's Lol...
I make ice cream with pistachio instant pudding in it. The pudding mix itself has dark specks in it. I tried to remove them until I discovered they were bits of pistachio.
One of my favorites. I can remember my Mom making Watergate Salad for ever Holiday Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, 4th of July. She would add the cherries at Christmas. Fond memories of my Mom!
I was born in 1983. I remember being a kid and having this around the holidays. We always called it the "green stuff".
Every family has a different name. I grew up with another Jello dessert with cottage cheese, crushed pineapple, strawberry jello and cool whip. We always called it “pink goop”. Lol!
Thank you for doing this classic from the 70s....so glad people are seeing this and are going to make it. I miss those days a lot.
I love my American friends! You all will call anything salad. Why could I not have been forced to eat this kind of salad as a kid?!!! :)
thefarnorthhomestead Yes my daughter and I love anything with cool whip in it.
Yeah..we play pretty fast and loose with the term salad
A salad is a jumble of ingredients.
I love Watergate Salad. Family had it every holiday. Wonderful and fun dish.
I love Watergate salad! It's such a weird recipe and you wouldn't think it would be good, but it's delicious!
This has been one of my favorite holiday desserts since I was little. My Grandma would always make it for me, unfortunately she passed away a couple months ago so this will be my first Thanksgiving without her and her amazing Watergate.

Noreen, we made this salad for decades, but haven't done so in the last 2-3 years. Time for us to get back on it! Thanks for the trivia.

The rave of 60s and early 70s, my mom always made it.
My aunt makes it and i loooove it
Thanks Noreen!❤️❤️❤️ Looks like a summer carnival in a bowl. My kids would go nuts for this!
I used to make this salad years ago and we called it Pistachio Whip Salad. I used walnuts and everyone loved it.
Yasssss

Watergate salad has been around a long time mom made a lot❤
I make this all the time. It's delicious. I don't use nuts though because of allergies.
yummy looks good, have a great week
Love this stuff.
Yep, that’s how I remember it! 👍 And in my neck of the woods it had shredded coconut in it, too, and garnished with maraschino cherries. Thanks!
Thank you for providing this retro recipe, this is one of my favorites. I love jello salads.
My mom used to make this, but we didn't know what it was called.

I love your channel! Thank you. You go girl.
Oh Em Gee! A family favorite for years. Softened cream cheese and any flavor Jello is always a hit too. ❤️

I always made the watergate cake. Everyone always loved it. Haven’t made it in ages. Maybe I should again. Hmmm....
Oh my goodness, my grandma used to make this at EVERY holiday dinner! Hers had pineapple and grated carrot. I didn't like it at all as a little kid but then it grew on me.
Could not be more appropriate!

I love this stuff! Funny your making it I was just telling Falon about it a couple weeks ago
I always put the pudding on first and then add the pudding mix. I mix it together before I add the pineapple and walnuts.
I was staring at that particular pecan and waiting for your hubby to grab it lol it had his name written on it
I love this dessert! My family calls is Green Goop!
Add shredded coconut with the Pineapple. Yummmm
Loving the Jello salads. Next we must see a molded Jello salad with actual lettuce leaves inside. Just like my husband's grandmother apparently used to make. :) lol

Oh, one of my favorites
Royal Puddings came out with a pistachio pudding in 1969, but you are correct about the date of the recipe.
My all-time favorite Jello salad.
Hi I can almost taste it
Yum yum yum yum!!!! I love that but nobody in my home will eat it but me!!! 🤦♀️
I have never had this! We do a lime jello with whipped topping and canned pears. We call it “Green Glop” and it’s a Thanksgiving essential. Comes out the same color even though the only ingredient in common is the whipped topping!
I remember someone made it with cottage cheese also but no marshmallows Looks delicious

Thanks so much!!💕
I know the years are different but this sounds like something that would be served at a Mad Men themed party. I know those were popular during the shows run.
Wow! What a simple recipe, 💕 tfi lol full of nuts 😂
I remember Watergate salad. It was good then and it’s good now. For the longest time I thought this was Ambrosia. Do you remember that Jello recipes cookbook? I think I have it in a box around here somewhere. 😂
Please post more retro recipes.
Can you use filberts in place of pecans?
Never heard of this salad - will definitely have to try it! Just a thought: could I use real whipped cream instead of True Whip? Do you think it would blend and hold up? Thank you for another great recipe!

We also put halved cherries in it an sometimes chunks of lime jello !!
This used to be available at every grocery store deli by the pound. I'm not sure when it disappeared.
covid made a lot of things disappear from deli counters far and wide and they have just never returned. Stores saw their bottom line improve with less overhead and they started seeing how much they were tossing and decided what they were paying for to go in the trashi. So there you go.
@@NoreensKitchenOfficial Understood, but when I really thought about it, I don't remember seeing it since the mid 2000's.
I don't remember this one, but I do remember the Ambosia salad one!
This looks so yummy! 😋 We don't have Cool Whip over here in Germany. Has anybody tried it with plain yoghurt or maybe Greek yoghurt?
You could try. But yogurt is too thick and nothing like whipped topping. For a more similar substitute I recommend whipped cream that has been slightly sweetened and stabilized with gelatin.
Reminds me of my mom. Except she added mandarin oranges and cottage chesse
We have this at Family Party's . It's also called Pistachio salad . Whatever it's called , it's good that's all that matters to my family n friend's Lol...
I make ice cream with pistachio instant pudding in it. The pudding mix itself has dark specks in it. I tried to remove them until I discovered they were bits of pistachio.
In 1976 the Denver Post published this recipe from the Watergate Hotel...
Does this have to be covered when put in fridge?
Yes
@@NoreensKitchenOfficial thanks for responding
Made this tonight BTW anxious to try it tom.
What store do you purchase the brand "Truwhip"? Thanks! 🙂
I get mine at either Harris Teeter, Publix or Food Lion. Walmart does not carry it in my area but every Walmart is different.
Subbbbbbscribed! Very much enjoyed this video. Im obsessed with these retro recipes, especially the really vile and gross ones lol but this was great!
Can you explain why you took the labels off the can?
I do not promote brands without being asked. So I take off the labels to avoid trademark issues.
