When it comes to favorite Pittsburgh eats, one dish has stood head and shoulders above the rest for more than a half-century: the salty-sweet layered dessert known as strawberry pretzel salad.

Served at nearly every summer cookout, potluck, graduation party or family reunion —  and if you’re really lucky, with Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner — it’s an American classic, beloved both for its contrasting textures and colorful layers and the fact that you don’t have to be a whiz in the kitchen to be able to prepare it. It only looks fancy.
