Strawberry Salad

This is a family recipe that is served at every holiday. It just wouldn't be a holiday without it.  Since food allergies entered our world, we had to do away with the nuts. I'm typing this up for posterity.

3 ripe bananas, mashed
2 boxes sliced frozen strawberries (or a bag of frozen, you will smash to smithereens)
1/2 cup to 1 cup chopped nuts (omit for nut allergies!!)
1 large box or 2 small boxes strawberry-banana Jello
1 3/4 cup boiling water
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin mixed into 1/2 cup very cold water
1 pint sour cream OR plain Greek yogurt

Smash bananas and strawberries, mix in unflavored gelatin mixture.

Mix strawberry-banana Jello with boiling water.  Add to banana/strawberry/gelatin mixture.

Spread half of mixture in a large glass pan (13 1/2 by whatever it is)
Chill in fridge until just set.
Spread with sour cream or yogurt.
Pour the rest of the mixture on the top.
Chill until completely gelled.
