This refreshing salad is such a hit! The sweet strawberries, creamy center, and salty crust is the perfect mixture of sweet and salty! Our children are always wanting to cut into it before it is completely set. You could give our oldest son a fork and I am pretty certain he could polish away the whole thing! I love that kind of sweet treats!
