Watergate Salad

This was my Great Aunt Ruth's recipe.  It is so good to eat as a "salad" or dessert.  Moreover, this is so kid friendly!!

 

Ingredients:

1 (15 ½ oz) can crushed pineapple

1 (3 oz) pkg pistachio pudding mix

1 (9oz) container Cool Whip

½ c chopped pecans

3 bananas, diced (mix with 1/3 tsp Fruit Fresh)

1 c miniature marshmallows

½ c maraschino cherries, chopped fine

Directions:

Empty the entire contents of pineapple (including juice) into a bowl.  Stir in the pudding and mix well.  Stir in the remaining ingredients.  Chill at least one hour before stirring.
