strawberry pretzel salad
Layered pink treat
Strawberry pretzel salad is a layered American dessert despite its name—a buttery pretzel crust topped with sweetened cream cheese and strawberry gelatin with fruit.
It appears at potlucks, church suppers, and holiday gatherings, particularly in the Midwest and South: Aunt Linda always brings her strawberry pretzel salad to Thanksgiving.
The "salad" designation reflects an older American tradition of calling gelatin-based dishes salads.
