This year we had a rare opportunity to go home for Thanksgiving. (The 12 hour drive was killer, but worth it.) We stayed with my parents and had Thanksgiving with my husband's family. I was asked to bring a salad. Since my mom was already planning on making Pretzel Salad I bought extra ingredients and we doubled the recipe. It made it so easy. There is a little controversy with this recipe though. My mom got it from my aunt, who claims she got it from my mom. My mom says she had never made it before.....the story goes on. HA HA!! Either way it is a great recipe and I will just consider it a McNee family favorite.
Raspberry Pretzel Salad
Crust:
Dissolve Jello in boiling water. Stir in berries. Let stand for a few minutes until semi-set (around 10 minutes). Pour over cream cheese layer. Chill. (My mom had some huckleberries, so we mixed in a few. Yum!!)
3rd Layer
Cover the top with whipped topping.
Chill and enjoy!!
I would of loved to have had a picture of this salad served, but it was all gone within a couple of minutes.
*Note: Strawberries also work great..
