The Best Strawberry Pretzel Salad Recipe
So there has always been a huge debate about the name of this recipe since the word “salad” is used. (As you can see from the picture, it looks more like a kind of dessert bar.) I didn’t come up with the name, but I grew up with my grandma making dessert salads, so it seems totally normal to me. I would love to know what you would call this recipe, though!
At the end of the day, since it’s filled with crushed pretzels, sweet velvety cream cheese, and sugary strawberries, I guarantee that you’ll fall in love with it, regardless of what name you decide on.
