Steps:
- In a medium tall bowl, using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese until it becomes smooth. It may bind up in the beaters, but continue as is and it will loosen up.
- Add the dry pudding mix. Beat until well combined.
- With the mixer on low, slowly add the creamer to the cream cheese mix. Add it about a tablespoon at a time and then mix until it becomes a smooth mixture and all of the creamer has combined into the cream cheese, repeat until all of the creamer has been added to the mixture. Whip until smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine strawberries, oranges, pineapple, kiwi and mango.
- Add the cheesecake mixture to the fruit. Gently fold cheesecake mixture into fruit.
- In a small bowl combine the banana coins and the lemon juice. Toss until well coated, drain the excess lemon juice. Gently fold the banana into the cheesecake salad.
- Chill until ready to serve or serve immediately.
- NOTES:.
- Do not pour all of the creamer into the cream cheese at once. It will get clumpy and no matter how long you beat it, it will stay that way.
- If you have to substitute cream for the creamer, powdered sugar and vanilla would be the best swap. 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
- To make this ahead: prepare the cheesecake mixture and refrigerate in a bowl. Mix all of the fruit in a large bowl and refrigerate. Before serving, drain any excess liquid from the fruit and then fold the cheesecake filling into the fruit. Serve and enjoy!

HAWAIIAN HAM AND BACON PASTA SALAD
Sweet, salty, smoky and a little bit spicy, there's a whole lot of flavor going on here, and with surprisingly few ingredients. That's the genius of this recipe: It combines a few complementary ingredients to scrumptious effect. Pineapple bits, ham chunks, bacon crumbles and diced jalapeño folded into the creamy pasta base make for a mouthwatering meal that you can probably pull together without running to the store. It's a great use of leftover ham, but also beautiful enough to feature on your Easter brunch table. Whether you're making it for tonight's dinner or a major holiday, prep it ahead of time and stash it in the fridge, so it's quick to assemble when it's time to come to the table.

Tips:
- Choose ripe fruits: For the best flavor and texture, use ripe fruits. Ripe fruits are sweeter, juicier, and have a more intense flavor than unripe fruits.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your salad the best flavor. If possible, use fruits and vegetables that are in season. Seasonal fruits and vegetables are typically fresher, tastier, and more nutritious than fruits and vegetables that are out of season.
- Don't overdress the salad: A light dressing will allow the flavors of the fruits and vegetables to shine through. If you use too much dressing, the salad will be soggy and the flavors will be muted.
- Add some crunch: Adding some crunchy elements to your salad will give it a nice textural contrast. Good options for crunchy elements include nuts, seeds, and crispy vegetables.
- Experiment with different flavors: There are many different ways to make a Hawaiian salad. Feel free to experiment with different fruits, vegetables, and dressings until you find a combination that you love.
Conclusion:
Hawaiian salads are a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy the flavors of Hawaii. They are perfect for a light lunch or dinner, or as a side dish at a party or potluck. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a Hawaiian salad that everyone will enjoy.
