WATERGATE SALAD

Notes

Use crushed canned pineapple in 100% pineapple juice. The juice is mixed with the dry pudding mix to make the pudding. Pineapple packed in heavy syrup is too thick.
You can replace the pistachios with chopped walnuts or chopped pecans.However, my first choice is always pistachios.
If desired, whipping cream can be substituted with an 8-ounce container of Cool Whip. I think freshly whipped cream tastes better.
For variety, add 1/2 cup shredded coconut.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
