Raspberry Pretzel Salad is always the first thing to disappear at any potluck dinner. It’s completely delicious and everyone will want the recipe.
I really don’t know why Jello stuff like this is called a salad, but there we are. It’s more of a dessert in my book. I love love love this treat. You can make it with strawberry or blueberry jello and berries as well. Oh I need to make the blueberry version. That is my favorite fruit. The first time I ever ate this was at a family party on my husband’s side. Changed my life. Well, maybe not, but it sure enhanced it. This never has leftovers when it is served at a potluck dinner. The salty-ness of the pretzels goes perfectly with the rest of the “salad”.
