Strawberry Cheesecake Salad

Strawberry cheesecake salad is a fresh strawberry medley bathing in a sweet dreamy cheesecake mixture and the crunchy of the pretzels that transcend divine deliciousness.

In the past few months, I have been on a mission to find different but divine salads! How many times have you been invited to a social gathering and you ask what you should bring and they tell you to bring a salad? I always think ” oh, man!” that either means a green salad or a pasta salad and these beauties have been my old stand by! That’s why I have been trying to branch out.

This has made the list of “best in show” and I will make this for years to come. How can you go wrong with fresh fruit and cheesecake? Seriously, you will love me for this!
