How to Make Strawberry Pretzel Salad #recipe #creamy #fresh

I'd never heard of this one until college when my roommate Kerrie introduced me to the joys of 'strawberry pretzel salad'. It sounded bizarre to me at the time - how are pretzels and strawberries in a salad? - but it was love at first bite. I still don't get why it's called a 'salad' (which is why I call it dessert), and the recipe has changed slightly over the years to accommodate my husbands love for the crust, but it still brings back the happiest of memories. This recipe serves 12. While it is simple to make, it takes a lot of steps and is best after chilling, so plan ahead! Look below for the link to the full recipe, the ingredient/sub suggestions.
