How To Make This Strawberry Banana Cheesecake Salad Recipe

Once you mix up the cheesecake dressing, you can carefully mix it with the fruit. Don’t forget to give your salad a bit of time to chill in the fridge before serving.

STEP ONE: Using a large bowl and an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the softened cream cheese for 1 to 1½ minutes until smooth.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so you don’t end up with any lumps in your creamy mixture.

STEP TWO: Add the sugar and vanilla, and continue beating for 1½ to 2 minutes until well incorporated.
