Foodie Friday! - Strawberry Cheesecake Salad

I saw this recipe on Facebook.  It's not often a salad recipe has me anxious to try it, I'm just not a salad person. When it comes to salads I want all the ingredients easily identifiable.  If there are things in a salad I can't identify I call them UFOs:  Unknown Food Objects. 

There are just some fruits and veggies I don't care for and it is usually a texture thing - like pineapple.  I love pineapple juice... but not the texture of actual pineapple.  

But this salad sounded awesome and more like a dessert (how could I not love it?!).  It also sounded refreshing  (perfect for these warmer days) and easy to throw together (always a must!), so I eagerly made it the next day! 


This one is definitely a keeper!




Strawberry Cheesecake Salad

Start with: 
1 box No-Bake Cheesecake (brand doesn't matter)

Make the graham cracker crust that comes with the cheesecake mix (per directions on the box) and press the crust into an 8 x 8 baking dish. 



Stir together to blend:
16 ounces vanilla yogurt
The no-bake cheesecake filling packet (as is - dry)



Fold in:
1 small tub Cool Whip



Stir in:
4 ounces of mini-marshmallows
1 container fresh strawberries, sliced


Put mixture in pan on top of crust and spread evenly.  Chill and serve.

That's it!

I used low-fat vanilla yogurt.  

You could use any variety of the Cool Whip that best suits your dietary needs. 

Other fruit can be substituted if desired.



No funky textures.

No UFOs.


Just some strawberry cheesecake goodness. 


Happy Friday!
