    For everyone wondering about how to mix it up - Put the DRY pudding mix in with the whipped topping. Some pineapple juice may be necessary to get the correct consistency. You want it to be thick, but spreadable. - 5/4/09

    I never drain the pineapple and i dont know why it says to. its actually needed liquid and helps the pie to "set up". Folks...use the juice!!!

    You can vary this recipe using fat free orange jello, lowfat cottage cheese with drained mandrin oranges instead of the pistachio & pineapple(tastes better than it sounds!) or use lowfat choclate pudding with no fruit. - 3/1/09

    I have done this before and I do it for Valentine's Day too but use strawberry cool whip, strawberry gelatin and frozen strawberries. But I do mine in a cake pan and make my own crust with graham cracker crumbs. Very Good. - 2/1/09

    Your recipe calorie count is inaccurate by about 100 calories per serving because you don't add the whole graham cracker crust, you add 1 serving of crust to the whole recipe. You also do not specify that you used sugar free pudding. - 7/23/09

    I have done this recipe as a salad at Christmas, but I don't drain the pineapple. Sounds good as a pie, I'll try it. We don't have Cool Whip or pistachio pudding in Norway. I use creme fraiche and bring the pudding mix back when I visit the states. They think it is something exotic here! shhhhh.. :) - 2/8/09

    I make this on Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's watergate salad, minus the nuts and marshmallows and you added a graham cracker crust. Very good. - 1/29/09

    I think the pineapple is supposed to be flecks of gold. I would like to try it with mandarin oranges too since it would be even more golden. I make my own crust and like this much better than the mix with marshmallows (too sweet). Thanks to all for the variations too. I will try the Valentines one. - 2/18/09

    You can add about 1/2 cup halved green grapes to the pistachio salad/cool whip/pineapple mix. Tastes very good. My family also eats this without the crust, just as a salad and it's a fav! - 10/11/09

    I love watergate salad and sometimes add sliced banana to it. You could also add a sliced banana to this recipe or just use banana in place of the pineapple (for the person who is allergic to pineapple). I meant to add the banana today but forgot. I already have it chilling in the fridge. - 10/11/09

    Incredibly easy and ever so delicious. Mandarin oranges go great with a lime-flavoured pudding, and sometimes I'll add a glob or two of Dannon Light and Fit (Key Lime, Strawberry, or the Coconut ones are great). How easy, how delicious! - 3/23/10

    I make this with marshmallows and chopped nuts. It's called Watergate Salad. I also do not drain the pineapple juice, and mix it with the pudding mix first and then add the rest of the ingredients. It's yummy! - 7/31/09

    I have been making this for years, learned about it at WW,

    I make this without the crust but add 2-3 apples, so you have more fiber and less calories. I always use the juice to mix up the puddingmix, love the pistachio flavor with this!

    Do you make the pudding according to the box directions and then add it to the Cool Whip or do you just pour the pudding powder into the Cool Whip? - 1/4/09

    Reply from NIGHTSKYSTAR (4/19/10)
    JUST the powder...and use the pineapple juice too!! i dont know why that was left out.

    THere are so many variations of this recipe, I love chocolate soif making the pie, I use the reduced fat graham crust, fat free cool whip, and sugar free, fat free chocolate pudding and added chopped fresh strawberries or cut up banana. This takes away my craving for chocolate. - 3/17/11
