This is one of my favorite things Grandma Earlene used to make for my birthday.

Every time I would go to Tucson or we would have a family party, she would make
Watergate salad. I think I was the only one that liked it but she made it for me and I loved it every time. I remember even learning how to make it with her and once the "secret” was out about what it was made of, I’ve never had it since. Ha!
