      This is great to serve for a holiday sidedish.Its easy and it tastes so good! We love it! I toss the bananas in a little lemon juice to keep them from turning brown otherwise don't change a thing. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing. :)

      you just brought back a thousand memories of the church-lady potlucks I went to with grandma as a little girl! This stuff without the bananas ("pistachio fluff" in Bellevue, Ohio) was always my favorite! Thanks for the recipe!!!

      This is exactly the recipe that my grandma has made for years at all our family dinners, it has always been a family favorite dish. My uncle always requests it, and I love it too, my brother and I when we were kids used to try to get a scoop with the cherry in it. It's just not a family dinner without a big bowl of fluffy Watergate Salad.

      Yummy! I made this for a St. Pat's day party and it was such a hit. It was the only dessert that completely went. I debated about putting in the nuts, but I'm so glad I did, they gave it a nice crunch/texture. DH has requested I make this at home for us to enjoy by ourselves. Thanks for posting.

      Made this as a dessert for Christmas. Everyone loved it. I used lite cool whip, and it still worked out well. Very yummy!

      Thanks for the recipe; I made it for St. Patricks. Instead of using pistachio pudding I used vanilla and then in order to make it green I colored the Cool Whip. My mom didn't want maraschino cherries so I substituted the only other fruit we had which was strawberries. It gave it a different texture and taste but still tasted fine. The only thing I might change is less nuts because that created a crunch where one thought the salad would be soft and smooth. So with less it would give it a different texture and probably wouldn't alter the taste too much.

      I have been making a variation of this for years, only I use all sugar free products where I can to cut the calories way down, especially for diabetics like myself. Can't do much about the marshmallows

      Fantastic! I made this to serve with Christmas dinner this year and almost everyone had 2 helpings. I grew up on this salad as a child and it brings back so many great memories. My mom's recipe was similar...the same as this one, minus the bananas and cherries. I like this one better, and the red and green make it perfect for Christmas!

      I also had this as a child and feel fortunate to have this recipe. I could have ate this all to myself but my mother also taught me to share!!!!

      I always liked this salad as a kid- we had this every holiday growing up. I was so glad to see it posted here. I left out the bananas and cherries just out of preference. Thanks for posting

      I made this for Easter, and while it tasted good, the color was very unappetizing. My fiancee wouldn't even taste it. Overall it is a nice, different and light dessert, but I wouldn't feel comfortable serving it to guests unless I can figure out a way to make it look more appealing.

      Thank you Mysterygirl and Mg's mom! This salad is awesome and so simple to put together! I used a package of instant pudding and sliced the maraschino cherries in half. We couldnt wait for it to chill, helped ourselves as soon as I had it mixed and plated! Definitely will be a family favorite for us and would be wonderful on the table for the holidays!

      My family loves this salad. Even those that wouldn't eat the "original" recipe ate this one and loved it. I'm making it a lot now.
