Green Stuff

I am the maker of the Green Stuff. A few years ago, Chad described a cold summer salad that his Aunt always used to make. Green, nuts, pineapple, marshmallows..... I had never heard of such a thing, and wasn't sure I cared too. But thanks to allrecipes.com and their awesome ingredient search function, after some searching I had found it. It was really called Watergate Salad - not to be confused with Waldorf Salad.  Now there is an unspoken rule that I bring the Green Stuff to all family functions. Seems I have assumed the duty that was once his Aunt's, and happy to. This salad is super easy to make, cool and refreshing. The ingredient list may sound like it won't go together, but trust me. It's yummy!
