STRAWBERRY-PRETZEL JELLO SALAD
If you're like us, this strawberry gelatin, cream cheese, whipped topping, and pretzel creation brings back memories of church potlucks and family reunions. We think of summer days, camping out on a picnic table in a park, and scooping this gelatin salad off of a paper plate with a plastic fork while sitting in a lawn chair. We all know that one person who shows up with a Strawberry-Pretzel Jello Salad in hand-and, it's usually their specialty. (We're looking at you, Nana!) A gelatin salad often finds its place on the actual salad table next to the potato salad and macaroni salads, so we wouldn't blame you if you counted this as your daily fruit intake. Some folks even like to serve it up as a side for their holiday dinners. This nostalgic recipe is a creamy, fruity, and crunchy Southern classic. If you haven't before, it's time to give this potluck favorite a whirl.

PRETZEL JELLO SALAD
I got this recipe from a friend Lynn when we hosted a BBQ for our families (we shared an apartment a few years after college). My family loved this recipe. It's perfect for summer and eating outside, but wait to bring it out into the heat until you are ready to eat.

Tips:
- Choose the right Jell-O flavor: Consider the flavors of the other ingredients in your salad when selecting the Jell-O flavor. For a classic flavor combination, use lemon or lime Jell-O. For a sweeter salad, try cherry or strawberry Jell-O. For a tropical twist, use pineapple or mango Jell-O.
- Use fresh fruit: Fresh fruit adds a burst of flavor and color to your salad. Choose ripe, seasonal fruit for the best results. Some popular fruits to use in pretzel Jell-O salad include strawberries, blueberries, grapes, and pineapple.
- Don't overmix the Jell-O: Overmixing the Jell-O can cause it to become tough and rubbery. Stir the Jell-O gently until it is just dissolved. If you are using fresh fruit, add it to the Jell-O after it has started to set to prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the salad.
- Chill the salad thoroughly: Pretzel Jell-O salad should be chilled for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the Jell-O to set properly and the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the salad with whipped cream or Cool Whip: Whipped cream or Cool Whip adds a light and fluffy texture to the salad. It also helps to offset the sweetness of the Jell-O and fruit.
Conclusion:
Pretzel Jell-O salad is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, delicious, and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your pretzel Jell-O salad is the best it can be.
