Originally called Kraft Pistacchio Salad. No one quite knows how the name Watergate came about. I suspect it was served in delis in the DC area, perhaps during the Watergate scandal, or possibly was a dish first served at the Watergate Hotel. - BIGNOLE (Contact me) 20:50, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
"Full of Nuts"? edit
The pistachio pudding mix counts as nuts? Pretty sure it's basically just green food coloring and sugar. Air (talk) 03:38, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
Etymology Section Is Insane edit
"The origin of the name 'Watergate salad' is obscure." -OK off to a good start. "'It was in 1975, the same year that pistachio pudding mix came out.'[citation needed]" -fine. "The Denver Post, in the Empire Magazine of June 27, 1976 published a recipe for Watergate Salad." Wait, what? Empire Magazine or Denver Post? Make up your mind. "Watergate salad was a concoction thought up by a sous chef at the Watergate Hotel, and it was then served at brunch on most weekends." -I thought we just said the origin was obscure. Why didn't you tell me this sooner? "Watergate Salad took off in popularity during and after the presidential scandal which shares the same name." OK now I'm really confused because we just said the scandal happened 3 years before the salad was invented. 38.88.197.138 (talk) 01:05, 26 February 2015 (UTC)Mike Pearl.
