How to make Pretzel Salad Recipe

  1. To begin making Pretzel Salad, we will first make the honey mustard vinaigrette.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients listed in the vinaigrette like the mustard sauce, honey, lemon juice, olive oil,pepper powder and salt to taste, until they are well combined and keep aside.

  3. Add all the salad ingredients into a large salad bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss the salad with the dressing.
