How to Make Cookie Salad

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix and 1 1/2 cups buttermilk until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gently fold in 1 (8 ounce) container of whipped topping (Cool Whip or similar).
  3. Add 1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained well.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
