You might remember this nostalgic dish from your childhood. It’s that pistachio-green dessert that your grandma used to bring to every potluck. Despite its name, Watergate Salad doesn’t have anything to do with the famous political scandal. It got its name simply because it was popular around the same time. With its vintage charm and incredibly easy preparation, this salad is ready to make a comeback in your kitchen.
