This has always been a classic in my husband's family - the same recipe! For those non-jello lovers out there (like myself), this is about the best way to serve it. The pretzels add consistency to the deal.

This is the best. My mother in law has been making this one for years and I swear every time she brings it to a shower or party it gets rave reviews from everyone. Very easy to make.

I had a similar recipe years ago and had lost it and missed it. When I found this I made it for my family at Thanksgiving. My boyfriend ate about 1/3 of it before we even got to my Mom's house. I had to make it a second time that weekend. I also do frozen raspberries with raspberry jello, and I found I prefer pretzel crumbs to crushed pretzels with bigger pieces. I now crumb them in the blender. I also think the 1/3 less fat than cream cheese neufchatel cheese is better tasting in this than cream cheeses (and I by far generally prefer cream cheese)

MY FAMILY LOVES THIS RECIPE! WE MAKE IT FOR A DESSERT. IT CAN BE COMPLETELY MADE SUGAR AND FAT FREE. I MAKE IT THIS WAY FOR MY SISTER, WHO IS A DIABETIC.

I have been making this for years and love it!! Although it's called a salad, it could easily be a dessert. It does take some time, but is worth every minute. It's great for potlucks or family dinners - I always get rave reviews. I highly encourage you to try it if you haven't!

I've made this for years and it's one of my favorites. Not only is it delicious and refreshing, it's easy to make. Unlike one reviewer, I love the flavor combination of the salty crust and sweet top layers. This can be served as a sweet salad or as a dessert and I've had it many times at showers and luncheons. It has a very pretty presentation, with the bright red and the white layers. If you've never had this, I highly recommend you try it.

This is an excellent dish, particularly if taking to pot luck-sorts of functions. The creamy filling and strawberry layers are so good, I am making them together without the pretzel layer from now on. The one problem I had was the pretzel layer was too salty, to my taste. This would be easy enough to fix by using low-salt pretzels. Also, I used butter instead of margarine; a sweet butter would also help to make this crust less salty.
