Strawberry Salad

It's been awhile since we've posted from the Entertaining Kitchen section, so I thought since I was whipping up a salad for our family bbq tonight, I'd share the recipe. Honestly, alot of you probably have this recipe.  It's a good one!  

Everytime I make it, my husbands states that it is more like a dessert than a salad.  It's sweet and has cream cheese, need I say more!  The first time I had it was more than 5 years ago.  Our Pastor's wife had made it for a dinner we were both invited to. 

The reason I am making it..... is because of this gal!

My California kid is home just for the weekend and it's her favorite.  In fact, one year for her birthday she requested this instead of a cake.  So to my friend H., the Pastor's wife, both Kassidy and I thank you!

I hope you enjoy it!  I know we will!  Thanks for stopping by!
