Variations & Tips
For a nut-free version, use nut-free granola or omit the granola altogether. If you have picky eaters, let them choose their favorite fruits to include in the salad. You can also try adding a layer of crushed graham crackers at the bottom for a more traditional cheesecake feel. For a healthier option, use low-fat cream cheese and whipped topping.
