It's often called Watergate Salad here, too. I've sometimes thought of putting well-drained halved or quartered maraschino cherries in it but I haven't tried it.
I make the cherry yum-yum fairly often and it's delicious. Do crisp the nuts if possible.
A friend cuts bananas into 1 1/2" pieces, rolls them in Cool Whip, and then rolls them in either nuts or coconut. Sometimes she freezes them and sometimes she just serves them well-chilled.
Enjoy!
