This salty/sweet, crunchy/creamy dessert that thinks it’s a salad is a favorite holiday meal addition at our house. Give it a try!
Strawberry Pretzel Salad
- 2 c. crushed pretzels
- 3/4 c. butter or margarine, melted
- 4 T. sugar
- 8 oz. cream cheese
- 1 c. sugar
- 12 oz. whipped cream
- 1 small box strawberry gelatin
- 2 c. boiling water
- 10 oz. fresh or frozen strawberries
Mix together pretzels, butter, and sugar. Pat mixture into a 9×13 pan and bake 6 minutes at 400 degrees. Let cool. Mix together cream cheese, sugar, and whipped cream. Spread over cooled pretzel crust. Dissolve gelatin in water. Add strawberries. Put in freezer until slightly gelled. Spread over top of other layers and chill. Cut into squares to serve.

This is my all-time favorite salad!!! I could eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner and still want more!
It’s been a while since I made it though. That is about to change.
I love that salad! It is so tasty!!
I haven’t had a salad like that in years because of the pretzels. Gluten-free pretzels are expensive, but easier to find than they used to be. I might give it a try for a treat. Thanks for the recipe.
