STRAWBERRY PRETZEL SALAD
Everything is better with butter . . . except watermelon. My mind
can't wrap around the thought of the two together. Or watermelon and bacon.
I did see chocolate candy with bacon pieces at Whole Foods.
No, I didn't buy it because I didn't want to waste the money. Do you really
think chocolate and bacon are going to taste good together? Can you see now why
I didn't want to waste my money.
Alas, I occasionally wish I had splurged.
I want to be more of risk-taker with trying different and unusual
combination foods.
Which brings me to Alta Barker's recipe for Strawberry Pretzel
Salad.
My mother taught me that when you're at someone's house you eat
whatever food is served even if you don't like it. Well, we were at someone
else's house where this was served. Salty pretzels with Jello and strawberries?
I don't know.
Try it, try it and see.
Preheat oven to 400*.
2 cups crushed GLUTINO pretzels*
2 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup butter, melted
Mix pretzels, sugar, and butter. Spread in a 9x13 pan (pat down)
and bake for 7 minutes. Allow to cool. Feel free to turn your oven off at this
point if you aren't baking something else.
*If you don't have an allergy or sensitivity to gluten, you can use regular pretzels. However, numerous people have tasted the Glutino pretzels and commented they taste better than regular pretzels. I agree.
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
1 (8 oz) carton whipped topping
1 cup powdered sugar
Blend cream cheese, whipped topping, and powdered sugar. Spread on
crust.
1 (6 oz) box strawberry Jello
1 (10-16 oz) package frozen strawberries
1 small can crushed pineapple
Mix Jello according to directions. Place in refrigerator to
congel. Before it sets (when it's the consistency of slime, isn't that
appetizing?), fold in the thawed strawberries and drained pineapple. Pour this
mixture over the cream cheese mixture. Chill.
If you have a larger container of whipped topping, you could add a
dollop to the top of each serving. Or not. :-)
