Strawberry/Pineapple Pretzel Salad (Paula Deen/Food Network) image

I used to make this salad all the time and so did my mom. However, I tried it using Paula's "extra special ingredient", crushed pineapples, and oh boy it was great. It's amazing that one little change can make a huge difference. ENJOY! If you crave things that have that salty/sweet combo, then this is for you!
