# Fruity Dessert Salads 'My Name is Yeh' Developed a Recipe for a Sinfully Sweet Kind of Salad By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2015-06-08 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dessert-salads References: [mynameisyeh](http://mynameisyeh.com/mynameisyeh/2015/6/strawberry-and-peanut-butter-cookie-salad) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/mynameisyeh) While [dessert salads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmet-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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-strawberry) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milk-bar1), 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Dessert Salads:** Experimenting with unusual ingredients and flavor combinations for traditional salad dishes to create unique and satisfying dessert options - **Breakfast Parfaits:** Adopting parfait-style food presentation techniques for dessert salads may be a trend that catches on in other areas of the culinary world - **Healthy Desserts:** Focus on creating healthy dessert options, using ingredients such as yogurt to make desserts that are not only delicious, but also better for you ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food Blogging and Recipe Development Industry:** Dessert salads and other creative and unique recipes can become a popular trend in the ever-growing field of food blogging and recipe development - **Hospitality and Foodservice Industry:** Adopting dessert salads into dessert menus in restaurants and other foodservice establishments can make for a unique and memorable dining experience - **Healthy Food Industry:** With the increase in demand for healthier food options, dessert salads featuring fresh fruits, yogurt, and other healthy ingredients could fill a niche in the healthy food industry ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Peanut Butter Dessert Jars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-cup-jars.md) - [Side Dish Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/savory-smoothie.md) - [Nutritionally Enhanced Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veggies-made-great1.md) - [Veggie-Infused Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veggies-you-crave.md) - [Berry-Topped Chicken Salads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/berry-boost-salad.md) - [TV Tray-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hungry-dad-fathers-day-tray.md) - [PB&J-Inspired Frozen Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-strawberry.md) - [Gluten-Free Strawberry Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glutenfree-strawberry-shortcake-cookies.md) - [Fruity Blue Cheese Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pear-and-blue-cheese-ice-cream.md)
