Cookie Salad

If it's a salad, it's got to be healthy, right?

This is the original recipe:

1 pint strawberries
2 cups seedless grapes
1 small can pineapple tidbits, drained
2 bananas, sliced
1 12 oz carton Cool Whip
1 3 oz package instant vanilla pudding
1 cup buttermilk
1 pkg fudge striped cookies, broken

Combine fruit. Mix Cool Whip, buttermilk, & dry pudding mix and a separate bowl. Fold into fruit. Just before serving, fold in broken cookies. Serves 20.

You can vary the fruit. Example- use 2 lbs. strawberries, 5 bananas, 1 can pineapple chunks (drained), and 1 can mandarin oranges (drained). (That's just for the single recipe, not doubled.) Use the store brand fudge-striped cookies. Cheaper and not as waxy.
