Ingredients
 

  • 4-5 ripe peaches peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup vanilla yogurt Greek or regular, depending on preference
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
  • 1/2 cup toasted pecans or almonds chopped (optional for crunch)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish optional

Instructions

Prepare the Peaches:

  • Wash the peaches, then peel and slice them into bite-sized pieces. To prevent browning, you can toss the peach slices with lemon juice.

Mix the Salad:

  • In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches and mini marshmallows.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the vanilla yogurt, whipped cream, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste.

Combine and Chill:

  • Gently fold the yogurt mixture into the peaches and marshmallows until everything is well coated.
  • If using, add the chopped pecans or almonds and fold them into the salad as well.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the salad to become more cohesive.

Serve:

  • Once chilled, give the salad a gentle stir. Serve in individual bowls or glasses.
  • Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing aroma and a pop of color.
