Summer Berry Cheesecake Salad
ight the BBQ!! Summer is almost here.
School is nearly out, and that means picnics, BBQ’s, potlucks, and family get-togethers are almost upon us. At the very thought of get-togethers, things start popping up in my mind.
What should I make or bring ?
What will people like? And, more importantly, what will be easy?
All of you who have been hanging out with me, know I am a lover of salads, that being said, I think salads are a perfect way to throw a bunch of yummy ingredients together in one bowl and enjoy. Fruit salad….in my opinion the essential summer dish….so many different options and so simple to throw together!
Yes, this Summer Berry Cheesecake Salad is a salad, that being said, I personally find sweet salads to be more of a dessert type. But that doesn’t mean it’s really super healthy or anything but in my mind because I am adding 4 full cups of fruit, then it’s balancing out. And in terms of calories, still a much healthier option than a pan of brownies or frosted sugar cookies….just as popular, maybe more.
Am I right?
So bring it along to any summer potluck or barbecue and it’s guaranteed to be a hit with never any leftovers.
