Notes
- Storage: if you have leftovers (highly unlikely!), you can store this salad in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. The pretzels will soften, but it still tastes yummy.
- Fruits: feel free to try other fresh fruits like raspberries, blackberries, and peaches. Although strawberries will always be our favorite.
- Nuts: you can add chopped nuts to the pretzel mixture before baking. Try 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts.
