Usually, in the Midwest at a potluck, there will be 7 salads on a table and not one of them has lettuce in it. This salad has an assortment of berries and a cheesecake/Cool Whip pudding mixture and it’s called a “salad.” Don’t knock it until you try it is all I’m saying. 😉 I’ve been eyeballing this Berry Cheesecake Salad recipe on Pinterest ever since last Summer and thought I’d make it more Weight Watcher-friendly. I replaced the powdered sugar, cream cheese, and heavy cream with just a package of instant pudding mix (the cheesecake-flavored kind) and a container of fat free cool whip. For a little extra zing, I added in some lemon extract.  You will want to eat this whole entire salad by yourself. One serving of the berry cheesecake salad is 3 smart points.

Tips for Berry Cheesecake Salad

Can I make this a day ahead?? No, I would not make this salad a day ahead of time if you plan on taking it to a party or event. It doesn’t take long at all to make so make it the day above. Sometimes the berries release extra juices so it might be a little runny. What is consistency like? The pudding and cool whip mixture is not a thick consistency like how you’re used to what some other fluff desserts or salad recipes are like. It’s a little on the thinner side like the picture shows below.
