Low-Cal version can be served as a salad or as dessert

This is one of those homey recipes that FEELS like a family tradition, even if you've just tried it for the first time! I prefer with finely chopped pecans, as walnuts can have a slightly bitter edge to them. Super fluffy goodness in a spoon!!

I always triple this recipe. I also had it figured for around 200 Calories so I guess I was doing something right. I may go and refigure later but for now I will leave it where its at.

Light, sweet salad

Great for picnics & parties!

This can be used as a side salad with a meal, or as a dessert that's cool and creamy.

The ingredients might sound strange, but this stuff is delicious and great for potlucks, picnics, and holiday parties. Takes about 5 minutes to mix this together, or make it the night before and toss it in the fridge for even less stress on big cooking holidays.

There are a couple other recipes for watergate salad on the site, but none has cottage cheese, which in my opinion is necessary.

This dish is low in saturated fat, and I calculated it to be about 10 BIG servings. If you portion it out into smaller servings, it'll be even less calories.

I'm totally open to (and hoping for) suggestions on how to lower the sugar content of this dish.

Substitued regular cool whip for fat free cool whip

Fold pudding into cool whip. Add remaining ingredients

My grandmother's recipe - Super Simple!! and Absolutely declicious!! It looks strange when made, almost like a lime green mess, but after it chills over night it is just perfect!

My family's recipe for Watergate Salad except that I make it with real cherries and Lite Cool Whip. My Great Grandma always said marshmellows were a vegetable so enjoy! :)

Itookthe skeleton of this recipe from the side of the Jello box, but I think the exchanges I made make this recipe not only more healthy, but more yummy too!
