Strawberry Pretzel Salad is a taste of nostalgia! This dessert has a pretzel crust, cream cheese filling, and fresh strawberries set in Jello on top. A summer classic!
Strawberry pretzel salad is one of the first desserts that I became totally obsessed with. As a kid, desserts were fine – a piece of cake here, some pie there, a cookie once in a while… no big deal. However, when this dessert made an appearance, I probably looked a whole lot like Einstein when he’s waiting for his bowl of food. Drool overcomes him. He can barely sit still. Then he proceeds to inhale his entire meal in a matter of seconds.
My great aunt and my grandma would take turns bringing this to any family get together that occurred during the spring or summer, and it often made an appearance at Easter. I love the combination of salty pretzels, sweetened cream cheese, and fresh strawberries… if you’ve never had the dessert before, it can sound (and look) a little strange, but after one bite, you’ll be totally hooked.
My sister gave me this strawberry pretzel salad recipe. It is a favorite of her in-laws. I tried it and it is delicious! This three-layer salad includes a pretzel crust, cream cheese center, and strawberry too.
