Raise your hand if you love summer potlucks.?‍♀️Honestly, I love a good potluck any time of the year. Potlucks are great because everyone pitches in and brings a dish to pass. What kind of dish do you bring to a potluck? I’ll tell you what kind of dish. . . your best dish. Yep, you heard me right.

I mean, isn’t it true? When you bring food to a potluck, don’t you make something that you know has gotten rave reviews in the past? Something you know everyone likes? Of course you do.

It remains unspoken but, ladies, let’s be honest. Potlucks are really a bit of a cooking competition. The person whose dish is finished first, wins.

There aren’t any trophies or medals given out but the empty dish you take home is reward enough. It feels awesome to go home from a potluck without any leftovers. It means your dish was AWESOME!

That’s why today I’m sharing one of my favorite potluck recipes, Strawberry Pretzel Dessert. Some people call it a salad, but I choose to call it a dessert.

It’s one of those classic recipes that everyone loves – sweet, salty, crunchy, creamy. You’ll go home with an empty dish, I promise you that.

Let’s get to making this dessert so you can go and claim your “prize.”

Making Strawberry Pretzel Dessert

The pretzel crust is one of my favorite parts of the dish. Pretzels, butter and sugar. How could you go wrong with that combination?

The cream layer comes next. Use a hand mixer to combine the whipped topping, cream cheese and sugar.

Then gently spread it over the pretzel crust.

Go ahead and refrigerate the dessert for about 30 minutes to allow the jello to set.

After that, it’s time to dig in! But not before adding a big dollop of whipped cream to the top. Everything is better with whipped cream.
