Ingredients
Fruit
- 1 pound strawberries, quartered
- 6 ounces raspberries
- 1 pint blueberries
- 1 banana, sliced
Dressing
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- ¼ cup sugar
- 4 ounces strawberry yogurt
- 8 ounces whipped topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Wash the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries thoroughly. Quarter the strawberries and slice the banana. Allow the fruit to dry well to prevent the dressing from becoming too watery.
- Make the Cream Cheese Dressing: In a bowl, beat together the cream cheese and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then add the strawberry yogurt and mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Add Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until blended evenly, creating a rich and creamy dressing.
- Combine Fruit and Dressing: Add the prepared fruit to the dressing and stir gently to coat all pieces evenly with the creamy mixture without crushing the berries.
Notes
- Ensure the fruit is dry before mixing to keep the salad from becoming watery.
- Use full-fat cream cheese and whipped topping for the best creamy texture.
- This salad can be made a few hours ahead and chilled to allow flavors to meld.
- For a lower sugar version, reduce or substitute the sugar with a sugar alternative.
- Serve chilled for the best taste and texture.
