Notes

  • Use a rimmed baking sheet or the butter will drip everywhere.
  • Pat the strawberries dry before adding them to the salad so the salad isn't watery.
  • Reserve a little of the pretzel mixture and a few strawberries for topping.
  • You can serve this with graham crackers or Nilla wafers for scooping.
