Quick and Simple Peach Dessert Salad Recipe to Try Today

Ingredients

Scale
  • 45 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
