Notes
Substitute the walnuts for slivered almonds if you prefer.
Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that you don’t end up with any lumps in your cream mixture.
Stir all of the ingredients together carefully, as you don’t want to break apart the fruit pieces.
If you have the time, allow this salad to chill for several hours in the fridge. This will allow the flavors to mingle together in your salad.
