Essential Ingredients for the Best Cheesecake Salad
Fresh Fruit Selection (Strawberries, Blueberries, and More)
The heart of this dessert lies in the berries. Choose:
- Strawberries: hulled and halved or quartered
- Blueberries: fresh and firm
- Optional: raspberries or even chopped cherries for extra red tones
Make sure to use fresh fruit instead of frozen, as frozen berries release too much moisture and can make the salad watery.
