My favorite version of this salad is to use strawberries and strawberry Jell-O, however, there are many other recipe options you can try. Stir the fresh strawberries into the Jell-O layer.Refrigerate the mixture for 1 1/2 hours or until slightly thickened. Stir until the Jell-O completely dissolves, and then stir in cold water. Place the dry Jell-O in a bowl and pour in boiling water.Using a rubber spatula gently fold in the whipped cream.Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.Use your fingers or the bottom of a measuring cup to press the pretzel mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.Pour the butter in and toss with the mixture. Stir together the crushed pretzels and sugar.For the salad to set completely and firm up place it in the fridge overnight before serving. Allow each layer to cool completely before adding the next.

Today’s grocery store is filled with many gluten-free products and pretzels are among them.

Southerners tend to find a way to turn salads into desserts like this apple snickers salad recipe. Whether it is indeed a salad or a dessert still remains a mystery. This delicious southern salad dates back as far as I can remember in my childhood. Fresh strawberries mixed with strawberry Jell-O on top of a velvety smooth sweetened cream cheese layer over a bed of crushed sugary pretzels. This Gluten-Free Strawberry Pretzel Salad is a delicious sweet and salty, southern dessert-like salad without gluten.
