COOKIE SALAD... now that's MY kind of salad!

Okay... so this weekend, Julia, Mary Ann and I were introduced to a tasty little dish called "Cookie Salad"... It was AWESOME!!! We've all decided that the next time we get asked to bring a salad to something this is what we're making!

FUDGE STRIPED COOKIE SALAD

1 c. buttermilk
3 oz. pkg. instant vanilla pudding
8 oz. carton Cool Whip
15 oz. can mandarin oranges (drained)
2 sections fudge striped cookies (crushed) (about 10-14 cookies)

Mix together pudding and buttermilk. Fold in Cool Whip, oranges and one section of crushed fudge stripe cookies. Sprinkle remaining crushed cookies on top of salad.

***A note of caution - Kristi, Jeremy's cousin who made this dish, reiterated the importance of MAKING the pudding before putting it in... I repeat... don't just dump the package in.... MAKE the pudding*** :)

***And another note... I would not recommend adding the cookies until just before serving... if not they get a little soggy***

***And one more note - In looking for the recipe online I found a few variations I thought I'd mention... One added pineapple in addition to the mandarin oranges... One used chopped Twix bars instead of the cookies...YUMMY!!!!***

  2. Oh, and just a question. Do you make the pudding according to the package and THEN mix the buttermilk in? Or is it just the dry pudding mix with the buttermilk instead of regular milk?
