Recipe: Strawberry Pretzel Salad

By Stacey LittleSouthern Bite

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. I love how, in the South, we give ourselves permission to call all kinds of things salads. This Strawberry Pretzel Salad is obviously not a salad, but as long as I have known about this dessert, it’s always been called a salad. It’s kind of like my Pineapple Walnut Salad. Again, not a salad.  But I’m totally fine calling it one. I’m happy to add this salad to my menu any day.
This is a generations-old recipe that is perfect if you love that sweet and salty flavor combo. The salty pretzel crust, creamy filling and tangy sweet strawberry topping make it one of our favorite desserts. In fact, this might be Heather’s all-time favorite. She’s a huge strawberry fan.

There are probably a hundred ways to make this recipe. In fact, it is traditionally made with frozen strawberries, and I’ve included those directions in the recipe. However, I saw one of my blogger friends post a recipe that used fresh strawberries and knew I had to try it that way. I immediately loved that version even more. I’m not a huge fan of the texture of the frozen strawberries. They’re softer and make cutting it much easier, but I just really like the flavor and texture of fresh strawberries better. It’s good either way and it’s great to have the option of using the frozen berries when fresh ones aren’t in season. Regardless, y’all are going to love this. It might seem a little weird to some, but just try it. Y’all enjoy!
