I grew up on this salad. We called it "Pretzel Jello." I've converted many a skeptic on this dish! Delicious stuff.

Underwhelming. The crust seemed good. The creamy whip part was good. The strawberry gelatin was ... gelatin. I have to say that after all was said and done. I just didn't think it was very good. I won't make this again.

I made this for a small Christmas get together and it was a hit. A few things I did different was I used raspberry jello like others have mentioned but instead of just one type of fruit I used frozen mixed fruit with strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. I also wanted a better presentation than a 9x13 pan so I used a springform pan. The recipe as is fit perfectly. I also baked it for the same amount of time as the recipe calls for. Then just before serving I ran a hot knife around the edge to loosen the salad from the sides. It was beautiful.

I followed the recipe's directions without any substitutions. Both my husband and I agree that the salad would be better with the jello layer in the middle rather than on top (as written). I ended up throwing half of this away as neither of us wanted to eat it after 2 servings.

Super easy to make and delicious. Took it to a party and it was gone before I could even have a bite. Instead of store bought whipping cream I whipped half and half ( I like the texture and the sweetness of homemade w.cream), make sure you spread it all the way to the walls of your dish, so that the jello doesn't leak through. I had the first two layers in the freezer for about 5 minutes before I spooned raspberries and cooled jello (raspberry) on top. I had it in the crystal tall bowl, looked gorgeous and it is absolutely delicious. The kids and adults loved it. Great recipe for Christmas.

This was good but not exceptional. I think that the cream cheese filling would be awesome if it were doubled and that would make the dessert much better.
