Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add the pretzels, sugar and butter to a food processor and process until crumbled and well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Bake until the pretzels are set and slightly more golden than before, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, clean the food processor, add the cream cheese and pulse 5 to 6 times to soften, scraping the bowl as needed. Transfer to a medium bowl and fold in the whipped topping until well combined. Spread the cream cheese mixture on top of the cooled pretzels, making sure that it goes all the way to the edges so that no pretzels can be seen, and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in the strawberry gelatin. Continue to stir constantly until the gelatin has dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add 2 cups of cold water to the mixture and stir to combine. Stir in the strawberries. Use a ladle to carefully spoon the gelatin mixture on top of the chilled cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate until the gelatin is set, about 4 hours and up to overnight.
- Slice into squares and serve cold.

Tips:
- For a sweeter salad, use ripe strawberries. If your strawberries are tart, you may want to add more sugar or honey.
- If you don't have any lime juice, you can use lemon juice instead.
- You can use any type of pretzel that you like. Salted pretzels will give the salad a more savory flavor, while unsalted pretzels will be more mild.
- If you don't have any whipped cream, you can use Cool Whip instead.
- To make the salad ahead of time, prepare the pretzel crust and strawberry mixture as directed. Then, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Just before serving, top with whipped cream and chopped pecans.
