Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly. (Chill time: 60+ minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the pecans before adding them to the salad. This will enhance their nutty taste and add a pleasant crunch.
If you prefer a less sweet salad, you can reduce the amount of whipped topping or use a light version.
Watergate Salad is best served cold. It can be made a day in advance, allowing the flavors to fully develop. Just give it a gentle stir before serving.
