There is a strawberry jello salad I love to make. It does involved three different levels of ingredients and some very careful transferring levels so the layers don't mix together. I recently saw the recipe at the Gunny Sack for this dessert salad and it sounded very similar...and oh my goodness was it ever delicious. I think I'd make a lot of friends if I brought this to a potluck....but....I have enough friends, so I kept this gal for myself and a few people that accidentally gained access to my house. You could add any fruit (pineapple?) you want, but....strawberries are my favorite with salty pretzels.
Strawberry Pecan Salad
Ingredients: 1 c pretzels (crushed), 1/2 c. pecans (chopped), 3/4 c. brown sugar, 3/4 c butter (melted), 2 c strawberries (diced), 8 oz cream cheese (softened), 1/2 c. sugar, 1 t. vanilla, 8 oz whipped cream
Instructions:
1. Mix pretzels, pecans, brown sugar, and butter. Spread and press down into a large baking sheet with sides. Bake at 400 for 7 minutes. Cool, and break into small pieces.
2. Beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Fold in the whipped cream.
3. Add the strawberries and pretzel chunks. Keep chilled.
