For your Corn salad add you mayo and let it marinate in refrigerator for a few hours and only add Fritos when you are ready to eat it. That’s how we do it. It’s awesome.

[@suzannegibino8975]

Thanks for another great summer salad! ❤ 0:20 0:20 0:20

[@jessicadevries1333]

The joy Jessica gets in her eyes whenever Bryan lets her put her spin on things 😂❤️

[@maurinadittenhaffer6140]

Jessica You are my girl. I hate onions too. Love all of these salads. The cowboy salad beautiful and yummy.

[@pamadcock433]

We've made Watergate Salad for as long as my 53 yrs can remember! Always at Christmas. We just use the pistachio pudding, the cool whip, mini marshmallows, pineapple, and pecans. I love it! And like yall said, not as dessert but part of the main meal. Enjoy your vacation.

[@bettyjordan7735]

Gotta say - Destin is the prettiest place we have traveled. We stayed at the Army Recreation area campground right on the water! Amazing! AND the Watergate Salad - I fix it at Christmas and add a drop or two of green food coloring to make it a little greener and then the red cherries on top. Festive!!! AND the Frito Corn salad - I go ahead and add the mayo to the veggies and then just add the Fritos when we eat it. The flavors meld more. I actually bought Fritos at the grocery store today to make this before I saw your video!

[@jessicagilmore2536]

Tortilla chips are a must for the cowboy caviar!

[@bridgetgreene2457]

Good evening Bunkey’s !!! These all 3 looked amazing .. Jessica, next time mix everything except the onion, then take you out some , then add the onion for Bunkey !! They would still be great without the onion and you would have great salads too ! I’d say the black bean one with the chips was spot on !! Blessings to you both and Daisy and enjoy !! 🙏❤️

[@ladinapeikert7141]

I was going to say the same thing about the dishes with the onions lol

[@lesliehuskey4186]

Took the words out of my mouth!

[@DCo923]

Your pooches face is priceless!

[@doreenmcdonough8404]

The cowboy caviar is good that is my new favorite salad

[@kirstie2872]

It was so awesome to meet you guys, I’m still starstruck from it haha! 😄 I hope you guys had a great rest of your time in Destin and keep making your great videos! We love following all your adventures!! 🏝️

[@eileensutcliffe6755]

I make a cherry saladthat ia so easy. Can of cherry pie filling, can of sweetened condesed milk can of crushed pineapple drained. Carton of cool whip, I add pecan pieces and mini marshmallows . Stir together and chill. Enjoy

[@KirstiPickens]

I love chili cheese frito salad!!

[@andreamaterazzi]

That is how we make our Watergate salad to a T. So good !!

[@ladonaoneal8137]

Now I'm hungry. Yum to all 3.

[@lolliet1075]

The gulf side of Florida is by far the prettiest. If you can take a ride to rosemary beach the water there is emerald green and windex blue it’s beautiful plusRosemary beach looks like a Italian village,but very expensive. Enjoy

[@theabrooks9909]

So glad I found you on youtube! I've been looking for some true Southern recipes and this salad episode is fabulous!! My 13 year old son and I just made the Chili Frito salad and he LOVES it too! Keep them coming.

[@patriciaking2352]

I make the Frito Corn Salad and am requested at every event to bring it. There are never any left overs to bring home. I use 3 different colors of bell peppers instead of one. I usually chop all my vegetables and add corn the night before. Cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning I add my cheese, frito and mayo usually a few hours before serving. The chips do not get mushy but do soften a bit. Love this recipe.

[@pamcollier2688]

Chili cheese fritos are best eaten on the beach!

[@ourrvtracks]

RV life words to live by! Learn to roll with the punches LOL!!! These looked awesome!!!

[@kat5592]

Mr Bunky MAN on the spot HERO ❤

[@shannonhowell1990]

You need to try Orange Fluff. With crushed pineapple and madarin oranges. This is fought over at family gatherings or work functions.

[@jamijessie4287]

I make the corn salad only Mexican style- use del monte Mexican corn drained, Mayo add it in as you make it- Half packet ranch dressing, tablespoon of taco seasoning onion (optional) shredded cheese mix together and before serving add crushed chips. For the Cowboy Caviar- I have always added a cheap Italian dressing along with your seasonings and let it sit overnight serve with tortilla chips.

[@barbiedoll6530]

Toast the coconut and walnuts to take it to the next level!!! I'm totally going to make the Chili Cheese Frito recipe!!!!

[@jillgross6232]

I add maraschino cherries and coconut to mine as well. I got the recipe from my Grandma when I was 10 years old and cooking for my brothers! 😊😊😊

[@stacysmith8471]

Welcome to destin!!!! I live just about 20 minutes away!!! I hope your having the best time out beaches are absolutely beautiful

[@tatersprecious5827]

We make that pistachio fluff, too! For Christmas, we grind up cranberries in a food processor and make the fluff salad with marshmallows, cranberries, Cool Whip, and vanilla pudding mix. I also make one with cheesecake pudding, marshmallows, Cool Whip, and pineapple and coconut (pina colada type) and sometimes canned mandarin oranges. You can totally play around with so many flavors! The base is always Cool Whip, pudding mix, and marshmallows. The flavors and fruit combos are endless!

[@projengrable]

I hate class or oysters, so when Mom made Clam Chowder, she would separate a portion for me before adding the clams. I got potatoes soup while everyone else enjoyed their chowder. Best of all, she only had to make 1 dinner instead of 2 to make everyone happy. Thank you for the summer salad ideas. Largo, FL

[@cass121983]

I love Watergate salad . One way to kick it up more is to add it to scoops of vanilla ice cream with a split banana for a fun banana split.

[@susylowder5600]

Jessica, you could put the onions on the side and Mr. B could add them whenever he wants to. That way u can enjoy them too! 😃

[@kimberlysue6833]

My parents made this for thanksgiving and Christmas ever year we love it we love Watergate salad

[@LaurendyeDye]

Love the Watergate salad. My grandmother always made it for me without the coconut and the cherries were always halved and mixed in. I think I was the only one who ate it at holiday dinners. Lol

[@johnniejohnson450]

I’ve never added coconut or cherries to my Watergate salad. But, I certainly will try it now.

[@tylermartin3584]

In a jam with no can opener…. Go find some concrete outside and rub the can in a circular motion repeatedly and it will eventually open!!!! Love your videos!!!

[@rhondaherdman7338]

As a cub scout leader Cub Scout master and Boy Scout leader kudos on the Leatherman! As an eagle scout I know you would have figured it out. Good for you making it to Eagle Scout that's awesome

[@taraturney938]

We take cowboy caviar to nearly every get together. We usually make double so we can bring some home. If there's only a small amount left we add cold elbow noodles and shredded rotisserie chicken to make it a meal.

[@sunnydee9239]

Frito Scoops with the Cowboy Caviar!

[@susanwelch9496]

LOVE DESTIN!!! Seattle here.

[@denisec425]

You can easily omit onion from the Cowboy caviar

[@sandibright5681]

They all look amazing!! Looks like y'all are having a blast and enjoying all your posts. 🥰

[@lisadominguez7560]

Maybe you could try making the salads without onion so that you can enjoy them and have a separate bowl for your husband with the onion. I'm with you, I'm not a fan of onion but those salads look awesome. I love watching you guys!!

[@livingawordfilledlife]

Y'all are the cutest!!!!!

[@melodychristian974]

My mama always made the Watergate salad, but we called it “marshmallow fluff”! We added pecans, instead of walnuts and coconut and cherries! We eat the Cowboy Caviar with Scoops, and we also put cilantro in it! Those salads came at just the right time! I have a family bbq coming up in 2 weeks and I can’t wait to make a couple of these! It brought back some very fun memories that I had forgotten about! Thank y’all ❤

[@tatersprecious5827]

We call it Fluff Salad and we make lots of varieties!

[@sandialdridge7599]

I look forward to my aunt’s Watergate salad every Christmas.

[@victoriaheiss1617]

I bet sliced avocados would be good in that chili cheese Fritos salad . 😋

[@angelamarcinkevich9202]

Jess my sister in law made this dip for my neices birthday party. Trader Joe's corn & chili salsa, orange & yellow peppers chopped small and a container of crumbled feta cheese. Serve with Trader Joe's corn chips or tortilla chips .Great pool & beach or party dip .❤

[@susanoswalt1169]

I love Watergate salad,only thing I do different is cut my cherries up and chop my walnuts in it..yummers

[@hollywolfgang6047]

You can still make some for you Jess ❣ without onions!!

[@sparsons8078]

Y’all are adorable!

[@suzanneharris7473]

I love the pudding it's my favorite

[@pdavis6645]

Happy Monday, Mr & Mrs B!!!

[@bzeissel]

Definitely making the cowboy caviar!!

[@bettehuwe3766]

I make a Texas caviar but it has black eyed peas pinto beast white shoe peg corn jalapeño and onion. With a boiled dressing of sugar oil cider vinegar and pepper boil let cool pour on ingredients and refrigerate over night! Drain and serve with chips. So good.

[@sarahivilla9728]

I used to work with an older gentleman and for potlucks he always said I’ll bring the green stuff 😂 that’s what I call it now

[@pamelacarrillo1854]

I think rinsed and drained black beans would be delicious in the chili cheese fritos salad, especially when using the avocado mayo. Tks for sharing your recipes. Pam C. 😊

[@user-vc8je1ou2y]

I am difently going to make that Frito salad. Chili cheese Fritos are my husband's favorite. I love watching you all❤

[@roxannebudd1978]

I make a recipe of cowboy caviar from a church gathering and it’s black eye peas, shoe peg corn, tomatoes, avocados, garlic, green onions, salt and pepper, cumin, olive oil and rice wine vinegar and cilantro if you like it. This is so good!

[@hollywolfgang6047]

I like the twisted corn chips.

[@candycec908]

These salads look delicious. Thanks for sharing.

[@tinaE.Canadian]

That Watergate Salad Looks So Refreshing I Want To Try It Out:)

[@travelingbruces]

Your facial expression trying chili cheese Fritos was hilarious! They are my go to chip for sandwiches!! ❤❤

[@janiewalkwitz9543]

Watergate Salad is my favorite!!!!!! I will make all 3 of these! You 2 are the greatest!!! 💞

[@hippietoherbie]

I don't know if it's a Midwest thing, but the recipe I have been using for many years uses Miracle Whip instead of mayo. I don't use it for anything else really, but have to buy some specifically for the Frito salad in the summer. I don't like raw onion either, so I put some radishes in the food processor and finely chop them for the salad. The cheese and Fritos go on the top just before serving so they don't get soggy. Thanks for your enthusiasm!!

[@sharoncooper6636]

YUM ❤❤❤

[@rebeccalott8625]

I make a Cowboy Caviar very differently, and as pretty as yours is too!! My recipe has the black beans, corn, jarred mild jalapeño peppers, a little juice from the peppers, onions, fresh chopped tomatoes, garlic, cilantro, of course, and lime juice from about 1-2 limes. That’s all I put in, and it’s also amazing!! Love your videos!! Thanks for your laughter and ideas!!❤

[@janiemarie2550]

Yay ! I am so glad you made it to Destin Florida. I live in Destin Florida and have lived here for over 50 years. We love it here. Having the beautiful beaches is like living in paradise. I love watching your videos and your new camper videos. You two always have me laughing and you put me in a wonderful mood.

[@beckystewart4423]

All of the these sound so good. 🎉So happy you are living a dream. ❤Blessings always!!

[@kelliejackson1191]

Jessica, I'm just like you I will not eat a raw onion of any kind. Usually I leave them out of any recipe that they are not complete cooked. Good video!

[@cindycampbell2166]

We call that first salad green stuff and we put pecans instead of walnuts. We always put the coconut on top with the cherries cut in half. Jessica- I hate onions too! If recipes call for them, I use onion powder instead.

[@melodygarcia86]

Love Destin! Such a special place. Salads look yummy 😋

[@mandichalmers4970]

You know when cooking u can omit onions. That’s the great part of cooking. You make the rules.

[@elizabethkoobs1060]

My mother-in-law's recipe from the late 70's didn't have coconut, cherries, or walnuts. We loved it!💚🤍 Also, the cowboy caviar recipe I've used calls for diced ripe tomato and diced avocado to be added. We eat it with tortilla chips!🍅🥑

[@robyntyson2873]

My family calls the Watergate Salad “Green Stuff”. One of the kids requested it by that name one time and it stuck. My family never added cherries or coconut flakes. And instead of walnuts, they used pecans. I love it their way, but I think I’m gonna give your mama’s recipe a try because I love all of the ingredients she includes.

[@tonirieke7934]

I didn't know people still make this now away. Was popular in the late 50 and 60s. I liked it

[@tonirieke7934]

I keep thinking about this salad, I belive my dates were wrong I believe was out about 1975. I'm 72 so remmories are a little off.

[@krystlereese2543]

Cowboy caviar is my favorite, we eat it with tortilla chips! I definitely need to try that Watergate salad 🤤

[@darciwaterman7824]

Pistachio fluff!! My favorite!! But, i add the whole can of crushed pineapple. Its delicious 😊

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Hey sweet friend.

[@gretchenmaloyed9038]

I do this same salad but I add chopped lettuce, cherry tomatoes. Instead of mayonnaise I stir in some Catalina dressing. Delicious

[@kayburris8464]

My husband loves watergate salad. I dont put coconut or cherries in mine , but I k ow he would like that. So next time i make it i wii add them. Everything looked delicious!

[@ellenbryant7679]

I make the Cowboy caviar, but I just call it black eye pea salad. I use lite Italian dressing. or a mayonnaise dressing I mix up with, mayonnaise, lime juice, and a teaspoon of sugar or more depending on how much lime juice you use, and it has to have cilantro. Sometimes I add a finely chopped jalapeno pepper

[@juliebrown8981]

kitchen mama!!

[@lisasvendsen1248]

My cowboy caviar i make it with red pepper jelly and Italian dressing. I also put rotel tomatoes in mine and Jalapenos.

[@sweetlifehappywife3460]

God bless you!

[@karenpayton9875]

Thank you for sharing destin beach. I grow up around there and just love the beach. Ive moved to AL now so I don't get to go to Destin as much as I would like so it was great to see it. Also I love Watergate salad, will try your mom's add ins . Y'all enjoy Destin ❤

[@julligiles1249]

I grew up on Watergate salad ❤my mom always made it during the summer, for holidays and socials!! I make it a well, it's made the same way minus the coconut but now I'll have to try it with sum coconut 🥥 in it!

[@ginamaria2579]

[@DIaneW702]

Hey guys Hope your having fun rv in 😂 I have made that Watergate salad for years and always took it to potlucks Never had any leftovers Made a double batch too Couldn’t you put a separation bowl without onions for you instead of depriving yourself It does look good maybe even cherry tomatoes in it too Beautiful beach Wow! You guys deserve all the happiness Your so fun Love you both even your baby ❤

[@selenasanchez2403]

Ok, my family uses the pistachio pudding, pineapples, cool whip and cream cheese

[@MyFullFiguredLife]

Yummmmm

[@mgdee8286]

Hahaha Daisy May’s expression cracked me up when Bunkey was opening the cans “old school”! As an ex-Scoutmaster of many years Bunkey the Eagle Scout made me proud! Love y’all! Melody in Texas❤️ 🤠

[@sylphofthewildwoods5518]

Oh my I haven't had Watergate salad since the 70's. Yum. Thank you, Jessica! I'll make this soon. Pistachio cake is delicious too. I think its called Watergate cake. ;)

[@shirleyadkins4254]

Yum

[@pammitchell7902]

Love Watergate… I use pecans. My favorite dessert.

[@rhondasorrells9408]

Looks delicious ! I would divide it. Add the onions to half of it. That way both of you can enjoy it. Enjoy your days you have left there. Every recipe I have tried my family loves them. I made the smoked corn dip and my grandchildren couldn’t get enough of it. My grandson asked me today to make him some more. It is addictive. I love your videos, it makes my day. I have been going back and watching years ago. The other night I watched the bird in the dryer. I laughed so hard. Keep the videos coming but mostly enjoy your travels.❤️❤️

[@nanferraro9953]

Yummy! Hello from Montréal Québec Canada Jessica 🌞🙋🏼‍♀️ Thank you very much for thé recipes , havé made quite a few already. Discovering new and délicious ones just makesmy day! Made thé watergade one for my family who are coming over for sunday brunch tomorrow, cant wait to see their reaction ! Merci again and kind salutations to your mister B.

[@kimberlylossie795]

I make the corn salad with Hidden Valley Ranch dressing. It gives it so much flavor.

[@Sublimechick84]

I definitely add the cherries and coconut flakes. A lot of people up here don't add the cherries or coconut either. I think it's a personal preference.

[@sarahlarson1082]

Frito salad sounds delish! Will try it with a can o$ drained, rinsed black beans.

[@deborahmartin1432]

Those recipes look delicious. And yes for some reason those can tabs are breaking on everything even soups. Have fun.

[@marshajordan862]

All look delicious. Must try. Blessings

[@Tams842]

Adding the Watergate salad to my upcoming cookout menu! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@sandraspithaler9120]

Add avocado to the chili cheese salad, yam... The look on Daisy Mae face when he's opening the cans is so cute
