Weight Watchergate Salad:  3 Freestyle Smart Points

Fourth of July.  Family Reunion.  Church Picnic.  What do these have in common?  Well in the south that means Jell-o salad of some form or the other.  Or at least in our family it did.  I can’t tell you how many renditions of Waldorf Salad, Watergate salad and even just the classic Jell-o mold like Aunt Bethany provided to Clark and Ellen on Christmas Vacation I have consumed over the years.  Sans the dry cat food of course.

But this Independence Day I decided to check up on an old favorite and make sure it was hitting all the marks.  Fluffy – check
Cold – check
A little sweet but not so much that it accidentally got put on the dessert table – check
Green – double check
Low in points – uh oh….

Weight Watchergate Salad 3 FSP per serving

Apparently the beloved Watergate Salad recipe my grandmother accidentally passed down (she never wrote them down and I’m not sure why) was a whopping 9 Smart Points per 1/2 cup.  It’s delicious and all but 9 points?  I give it a three.  Hmmmm 3 points, we may be able to work with that.
