Tips to make Keto Strawberry Pretzel Salad

  • Make sure to let the pretzel crust cool completely before adding the cream cheese layer. This helps to keep the layers separate.
  • Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor. You can substitute with other berries if you prefer.
  • If you like a stronger flavor, you can add a splash of lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture.
