If you’re lucky enough to be invited to a community potluck anywhere in the Midwest, you will probably find Snickers salad on the table. It’s definitely a crowd-pleaser. But is it a salad, or is it a dessert?
That, my friend, depends on two things. One, the eye of the beholder, and two, where the hostess placed it on the groaning food tables. Is it with the hot dishes, or is it with the desserts? It’s entirely up to you!
We love our sweet salads in the Midwest, like Frog Eye Salad, Watergate Salad, Glorified Rice, or orange fluff salad. Kids devour them! But if a “salad” that has Whipped topping as a key ingredient offends you, move it down to the dessert table if that makes you happy.
Wherever you decide this dish should reside on the buffet is completely up to you, but if you take Snickers salad to a potluck, you’ll come home with an empty bowl!
