Robin, I had this salad at the Opryland Hotel during Christmas--we only live three miles from there in Nashville, Tennessee. The pretzels taste like in the salad. Next to strawberries, I like nuts. I made it once using fresh strawberries. The frozen berries makes the Jello set up more quickly. Hope you like it as much as I. Velma
