Notes
Make sure cream cheese is at room temperature and Cool Whip is thawed.
Dry strawberries well to prevent salad from becoming too watery.
You can add a splash of lemon juice if you are worried about the bananas browning.
Store in refrigerator until ready to serve. Cheesecake salad is best served within a few hours of preparation as it gets wetter the longer it sits.
Frozen strawberries do not work well in this salad.
