This Watergate Salad Is the Pistachio Dessert You've Been Missing

By Tatiana Gonzales at Boston University

The Watergate "salad" is enjoyed by many. I say "salad" because it's not one of the leafy salads we are used to. It is green, but its festive aesthetic comes from the pistachio pudding, one of its main ingredients. As we get together to celebrate St. Patrick's day with friends and family, this is a perfect side dish to have.
