Strawberry Lime Holiday Pretzel Salad is the perfect blend of salty and sweet. A baked pretzel crust, a creamy lime Jell-O layer and topped with a layer of strawberry Jell-O with frozen strawberries. Of course topped off with whipped cream or cool whip.
Pretzel salads are one of my favorite dishes to take to a pot luck. They are always a hit. Last time I shared one it was Easy Pretzel Raspberry Jell-O Salad. It was delicious. However, this time I wanted to put a little holiday twist on it. Adding the green layer with the cheesecake like layer and strawberry Jell-O it came out so good.
Making holiday desserts are my favorite . Recently I've made Easy No-Bake Peppermint Cheesecake and Extra Easy Creamy Peanut Butter Fudge to name a couple.
Sure its should keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 2-3 days. When you are ready to serve just cut and top with whipped topping or fresh whipped cream.
Absolutely, fresh fruit is always awesome. I had frozen strawberries in my freezer so that is what I used.
I would think it would work fine . If you try it , let me know it comes out .
