Delicious, even without the pecans and Cool Whip. This is a fruit salad that I saw regularly in the 70's and 80's. If you leave out the Cool Whip, it's not as creamy, but I don't think it's quite as sweet either, and I liked that. Anyway, this is the old tried and true recipe from my memories. Thanks for posting.
