Is it a salad or is it a dessert? Our strawberry pretzel salad recipe is one of the retro gelatin-based recipes that has been a favorite for holiday gatherings and backyard potlucks, alike. In the 1950’s, gelatin recipes like this one, were known as salads, even though they were sweet enough for dessert! What’s not to love? A sweet and creamy cream cheese filling sits between a delicious berry gelatin layer and a sweet-and-salty, crunchy pretzel crust. It’s simple to put together, can be made ahead, and feeds a crowd. No wonder it’s a traditional favorite at holiday meals (its cheery strawberry-red shade adds a pop of color to holiday spread), potlucks, or backyard BBQs.
