"This Dolly Parton-Approved 'Salad' Is About To Be Your Picnic Mainstay"

Pittsburgh writer and City Paper contributor Rossilynne Skena Culgan wrote about the mystique of a summer favorite, the strawberry pretzel salad, for Saveur magazine. The dish — broken down as a "buttery base of crushed pretzels, topped with a layer of Cool Whip with cream cheese and sugar, finished with a tangy slab of fruit-filled strawberry Jell-O" — has been served for generations in Pittsburgh and throughout Pennsylvania, as well as in several other states, Culgan points out. She even includes her family's own pretzel salad recipe.
