- 1.5 cups Cold water
- 20 oz Crushed pineapple (drained)
- 2 large Bananas, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries, sliced
- 0.5 cup Pecans, chopped

Instructions
In a large bowl, dissolve the strawberry-flavored gelatin mix in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir for 2 minutes until fully dissolved.
Add 1.5 cups of cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir well.
Pour the gelatin mixture into a 9x13-inch glass dish or similar serving dish.
Gently stir in the drained crushed pineapple, sliced bananas, and sliced strawberries to evenly distribute the fruit.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top of the mixture to add a bit of crunch to every bite.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin is completely set.
Once set, spread a layer of whipped topping over the entire surface of the gelatin salad for a light and creamy finish.
Optionally, garnish with a few extra strawberry slices or pecans before serving for a decorative touch.
Slice and serve chilled as a dessert or side dish. Enjoy!
