This Sweet And Salty Dessert Salad Is A Little Retro, But Boy Is It Delicious!

The name may sound weird… but hear us out on this one, because this stuff is amazing! Pretzel jello salad is a bit of an homage to those iconic (and often bizarre) 1960s recipes involving various types of gelatin. For this ‘salad’ we used strawberry jello and fresh strawberries, a thick layer of sweet cream cheese, and a pretzel crust, for just a little salty crunch that pairs perfectly with the creamy and fruity layers above.

This is a really easy dessert to whip up, and it travels well, making it one of our go-to dishes for potlucks and summer barbecues. Guests always rave about how retro it looks…. And how awesome it tastes!
