While dessert salads may not be the most healthy meal option, this sweet spin on the classic veggie-heavy dish will have you reaching for seconds. The 'My Name is Yeh' food blog has just unveiled a recipe for a fun strawberry and peanut butter dessert parfait that draws inspiration from the Midwestern themes of vegetable-free salads.
A typical Midwestern cookie salad features fudge cookies, vanilla pudding, buttermilk, whipped cream and fruit. However this recipe is slightly on the healthier side and appears to more closely resemble a breakfast parfait.
The My Name is Yeh version of the cookie salad features yogurt, peanut butter cookie crumbs, fresh strawberries and a few sprinkles. To make the dish, simply combine the ingredients and serve immediately or refrigerate until the next day. While desserts salads may sound like a strange concept, this clever recipe is a perfect post-dinner treat.
