My first taste of this was at a covered dish. Ohhh, how I remember that surprisingly delicious taste! I am thankful that the lady shared her recipe with me. It has become a family favorite.

EASY PINEAPPLE PRETZEL SALAD
Can be used for a party dip for pretzels or a side salad depending on your choice. I usually double this recipe for parties. If you want to use for a dip for pretzels, one batch should be enough. I recommend crushing the pretzels using a rolling pin. I recommend not to add pretzel mixture to pineapple mixture until ready to serve.

- Chill till partially set, add pineapple and cheese.

Tips:
- To make the perfect pineapple cream cheese salad, it is important to use fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple has a sweeter and more vibrant flavor than canned pineapple.
- If you do not have any fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple. Just be sure to drain the pineapple well before adding it to the salad.
- For a creamier salad, use full-fat cream cheese. If you want a lighter salad, you can use low-fat or fat-free cream cheese.
- If you want a sweeter salad, you can add more sugar. You can also add other sweeteners, such as honey or agave nectar.
- If you want a more tangy salad, you can add more lemon juice. You can also add other citrus juices, such as orange juice or grapefruit juice.
- To make the salad ahead of time, simply prepare the salad according to the recipe and then refrigerate it. The salad will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Pineapple cream cheese salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time. This salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
