Notes: The name Watergate Salad became popular because the recipe was published in the early 70's during the "Watergate" scandal of President Richard Nixion. The scandal occurred at the Watergate Hotel in Washington D. C. In the late 70's Jim and I visited my Aunt Betty Sue Johnson in Washington. They took us to the the Watergate Hotel to have lunch while touring around the city. Awesome experience since my mother loved living and working in Washington D. C. I loved hearing about their life stories which inspired me to do "more
in my life."
