Notes
- Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so you don’t end up with any lumps in your creamy mixture.
- You can allow the cream cheese mixture to chill in the refrigerator overnight before adding the fresh fruit.
- To prevent the banana slices from turning brown, toss them in lemon juice before adding them to your salad.
