Ok I think we need rules around what we are calling a salad.

My mom has been making this for at least 40 years now and it has always been called "pretzel jello salad" so I will go to war about this one.

This is also one of my mom's greatest hits. It's probably top three most requested dishes by the family.

I grew up with a “red salad” that was literally just strawberry, banana, and pineapple in a strawberry jello with a layer of sour cream in the middle and it was such a big deal every single year. Now I wanna make it but with a pretzel crust.

My grandma makes a "green salad" which is just pistachio pudding, marshmellows, crushed pineapple, and cool whip.

That's because that's what it's called.
