"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."

This salad was easy to make . I used frozen strawberries in this salad so I cut back on the water by 1/2 cup and did not add the sugar as they had sugar on them already. I like this pecan thing in the last two salads I've made, that was also new to me. My son even committed that he liked the pecans. Thanks for sharing.
