A family favorite around here! My grandma used to make it for us all the time. We use the word fruit lightly because it has more cookies than fruit in it haha.
It’s super easy pretty much just a throw in and go salad. Just don’t put the cookies in until you’re ready to serve! You can always add more fruit in. We love red seedless grapes and bananas. Marshmallows are great too! I usually just eyeball those ingredients to taste.
I rounded up a few serving dishes to put it in as well!
