I know Christmas is over, but this recipe was to yummy not to share! You can make this dessert any day (or every day) and mix up the fruits. When my mom announced “The salad’s on the table” at our Christmas dinner we definitely were not expecting this type of salad. THIS is my kind of salad!
Raspberries, cream cheese, cool whip and pretzels. WOW!
This was so delicious! The pretzels added the perfect addition. This is a must try recipe!

I've had this with strawberry but never raspberry. The salty pretzels and sweet jello make a great combination.

yummy salad, even more delicious looking served on a Spode Christmas Tree plate. I found your blog through Leigh Anne. I’ll be adding this recipe to my holiday menu.

That is somewhat similar to what I make every year for Thanksgiving. This looks just as good.

Hi there! I found this on Pinterest, and am making it for my first Christmas dinner! I want to know though, what size pan should I use, or, how much does this make? Also, do I grease the pan beforehand? Another thing, I am not sure exactly what measurement a “cube” of butter is! Is it a tablespoon? And lastly, in the third layer, I mix the jello with the hot water first, then add cold, is this right? Thanks so much!
