Strawberry Banana Gelatin Salad With Pecans image

My grandmother loved to make this salad for us when we were young. She made it for the kids, but all the adults loved it too. The cooking time is actually the chill time. My grandmother was from the state of Oklahoma, and pecans are native to Texas. Therefore, this recipe represents the Southwestern region of the U.S.
