Equipment

Method
 

Prepare the Salad
  1. In a large bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk together for 2 minutes until thick and smooth.
  2. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping using a spatula until no white streaks remain.
  3. Fold in the mini marshmallows and sliced banana coins until evenly distributed.
  4. Top with crushed vanilla wafers, a few extra banana slices, and one whole wafer cookie before serving.

Notes

To prevent bananas from browning, toss them in a little lemon juice before adding.
Wait to add the crushed cookies until just before serving to keep them crunchy.
