COOKIE SALAD – Fruit and fudge stripe cookies in a creamy, fluffy salad.
I first came across this salad several years ago. My sister brought it to a family gathering (she was kind enough to share the recipe with me later). First of all… a salad with chocolate? Yes, thank you!
The fruit, chocolate, and buttermilk pudding are nicely balanced. It’s a great treat to serve at a BBQ or a summer picnic.
There’s a handy little trick you can do if you don’t have buttermilk on hand. You pour 1 tablespoon of vinegar into a 1 cup measurer, fill it with milk until it measures 1 cup and let it rest for 5 minutes.
While it’s a great technique when you’re in a pinch, I would not recommend using it with this recipe. The salad will most likely turn out flat.
Here’s what you need to make Cookie Salad…
- Vanilla instant pudding
- Buttermilk
- Cool Whip
- Strawberries
