Cookie Salad I

“This is my mom's recipe, and it is delicious! It can be served as either a salad or dessert. This recipe can also be used to make parfaits. Simply layer the salad, extra whipped topping, crushed cookies and repeat. Top parfaits with a dollop of whipped topping. Or, to serve as a pie, pour into a graham cracker or cookie crust and chill before serving.”

LOVE this recipe! It is so cheap and easy to make and it is always a hit wherever I take it! Sometimes I add miniature marshmallows or sliced bananas. Delicious!

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. My grandmother used to make this for us but never wrote down the recipe, and unfortunately, Alzheimer's has now locked away so many of her wonderful recipes. I was so excited to make this and be able to taste it again. Thank you!

The 1st day the buttermilk flavor was too strong. It seemed to mellow by the 2nd day. It was good if you like whip cream/fruit type salads. I think it might be better which just regular milk- or maybe half buttermilk and half skim. Of all the fruit salad recipes in the world this was just a smidge above average. I like the addition of the cookies but I do think crushed Twix would be better. I doubled the pineapple and used 1 15 oz can oranges. I will double the oranges next time too as there was plenty of the creamy stuff for extra fruit.

I just made this for the first time to serve at family dinner tonight. I took a spoonful to taste it before putting in the fridge to set, and before adding the cookies (right before serving). OMG - its' delicious! I don't think it even needs the cookies - although the whole point of my trying this was to use up some of the Christmas cookies that I have around. This one's a new 'keeper'! Thanks!

Hmmm.... Looks like my three star review is the exception here. I wasn't a fan of this at all. The concept appealed to me (and I've had a sweet tooth lately), so I whipped up a small (half) batch to appease my curiousity. While not terrible, I wouldn't make this again. If offered on a buffet, I might give this another go, but there would have to be quite a few less favorite dishes offered for me to do so. The star ingredient is what actually turned me off. Whether crunchy or softened, cookie bits in ANY salad are out of place, IMHO. I guess I'd just rather have my cookies with milk - as they should be eaten. :) Thanks anyways, JT!

Love this recipe! I am just a college student and this is so easy for me to make and take to gatherings. It does not take long and is now something I make just because it sounds good!

I wasn't going to make this. I kept going back & forth. It seemed so odd to me, but I was so intrigued..it was awesome! I used a little less puddingmix...maybe 2/3 a pakg (for a halved recipe) I will definately be making this again. Update: I made this again but did not have buttermilk. I used the vinegar/milk trick to compensate...it was NOT the same. I would not recommend doing this...so much better with real buttermilk.

I really enjoyed this salad. I thought the oranges and the vanilla pudding went together very nicely. The cookies also gave it more flavor and a nice crunchy texture
