strawberry pretzel salad

KMGL (104.1 in Oklahoma City) has kept me in Christmas tunes since before Thanksgiving. The other day, the DJs were talking about a recipe posted on the station’s Web site for strawberry pretzel salad. I’d never heard of anything like it, but I thought it sounded Chrismassy and so I decided to try it.

This dish is so good! It’s very rich, and my kids and husband loved it. My pictures aren’t the greatest, and I forgot to photograph it before we cut into it and messed it all up. This was a fun addition to our annual Christmas dinner, which we celebrated tonight. It’s a very cold dish, and might be really good in summer, but I’m always looking for ways to distinguish Christmas dinner from Thanksgiving dinner. Strawberry pretzel salad is a great way!

    love the new header Jen – very spec.

    I think Americans are the kings of make a food that is already made into something – ie the pretzel in this case – into something else completely different !!

    This sounds delicious – like a big red cheese cake on steriods 🙂 le xoxo
