Belongs to maggiwun Pretzel Jello 

I fancy myself a part-time gourmet, so jello salad is the last thing I would want to bring to a party. But every time I bring this one, everybody loves it. The salty pretzels topped by the cream cheese and sweet strawberries add a colorful touch to a buffet.

ready in about an hour and a half; serves 12
