Hawaiian Cheesecake Salad

Hawaiian Cheesecake salad is the perfect dish to take your taste buds on a tropical vacation! This creamy, delicious side dish comes together so quick and easy!

Why is it that in the middle of Winter, I’m craving a tropical salad? The snow is falling outside but all I can think about is sitting on the beach!

I’m a firm believer that we need a little Summer in the Winter months! This is a perfect salad for any dinner and even if your new year resolution is to eat cleaner, it will be your friend! 

It’s a rich and decant salad but won’t hurt your diet! 

TIPS AND TRICKS

• I used Original Cool Whip but if you want to cut calories, use the Sugar Free Cool Whip. The flavor won’t change.
• I use original cheesecake pudding but again, you can use the sugar free version and it won’t change the flavor.
• I didn’t add coconut flakes because my family doesn’t like coconut, but it would be a perfect add in.
• Get a little nutty! Add some macadamia nuts, or cashews.
