Loved this creamy dish although I do consider it more dessert than salad. I also see I made an error in serving, but no matter it was delicious! I baked the pretzel mix and used it as a crust like I do in the Strawberry Pretzel Salad I make instead of stirring it in. It was easy to cut into squares for serving so when I make this again I may do it the same way. The filling tastes like a light pineapple cheesecake. I just wish it was calorie free! Thank you for sharing the recipe!

<P>I'm a Mom of three boys: 19, 16, 13 (Josh, Jake and Jonah) and a 1 yr old golden retriever-Jethro. I work full-time as a Medicare compliance analyst for a non-profit health insurer. I love to cook - although I don't always have enough time to do as I'd like to do. I don't especially care to do the clean up though- but who does?? Food in general brings people together and makes people feel at ease. My boys love to help out in the kitchen-especially if I'm baking bread or baking sweet treats for them. If anyone were to ask them what I put in a recipe - first two ingredients they'd list would be olive oil and garlic -- (well not for the sweet stuff..at least)! I'm constantly browsing to see how I can alter/influence my family's eating - as well as trying to get it on the table quickly! My boys are all hockey players - so I spend a lot of time at the ice arena. When I have time of my own..I try to get on the golf course or read cookbooks.</P>
