1 (20 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained well
2 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained well

Break cookies into bite-size pieces and gently fold into salad mixture. Serve immediately. If you want to make this ahead of time, just wait to add the cookie pieces until right before you serve it because the cookies tend to go soggy, unless you like them that way!

Tips:

  • Choosing Mandarin Oranges: Select firm, plump oranges with a deep orange color. Avoid oranges with blemishes or soft spots.
  • Slicing Mandarin Oranges: Use a sharp knife to slice the oranges into thin, even slices. This will help ensure that the salad is easy to eat.
  • Preparing the Dressing: Whisk all of the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl until well combined. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings, if needed.
  • Assembling the Salad: Layer the mandarin orange slices, celery, and walnuts in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
  • Chilling the Salad: For a more refreshing salad, chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
