I wanted to make a green dessert for this weekend and while I was looking through some cookbooks I found a recipe for Watergate Salad. I don't recall ever having this salad, but it sounded interesting so I decided to come up with my own version! I'm not too fond of marshmallows being in dessert salads so I omitted those as well as the nuts. I figured the marshmallows added a creaminess and since I took them out I needed something to replace it. Being that I have an obsession with cream cheese, I figured that would be perfect. I made this with low-fat cream cheese and lite cool whip and you can't tell at all! I love the color of this salad, how simple it is to prepare and how it ended up tasting...I hope you enjoy!
