Ingredients
  

Fruits
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced Choose firm, ripe strawberries for best flavor.
  • 2 medium bananas, sliced Use firm, ripe bananas to maintain texture.
Cheesecake Dressing
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth mixing.
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar Adjust sweetness to taste.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice Helps prevent bananas from browning.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
  2. Mix until the dressing is smooth and creamy without lumps.
  3. Add the sliced strawberries and bananas to the bowl and gently fold in the dressing until the fruit is well coated.
Serving
  1. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and serve immediately for best texture.
  2. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve, and avoid leaving it in warm temperatures.

Notes

For best results, prepare the salad shortly before serving. The bananas may brown if prepared too far in advance. Ensure fruits are ripe but firm to keep a pleasant texture.
