I Brought Cookie Salad To One Potluck—Now Nobody Lets Me Bring Anything Else

Creamy vanilla pudding, fluffy whipped topping, juicy mandarin oranges, sweet pineapple, and crunchy cookies come together in the kind of Midwestern classic that somehow lands between side dish and dessert.

It is playful, nostalgic, and exactly the kind of recipe that makes people smile before they even take the first bite.
