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.
