Step 3: Add Fruit and Extras
6. Fold in the chopped peaches and mini marshmallows.
7. If using, stir in chopped pecans for texture and a hint of nuttiness.

Step 4: Chill the Salad

Notes

Use Ripe Fruit – If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them when perfectly ripe.
Soften Cream Cheese – Room temperature cream cheese blends smoothly.
Chill Well – Cold peach salad has the best texture and flavor.
Swap Nuts – Try walnuts or almonds if preferred, or omit for nut-free.
Make it Tropical – Add pineapple tidbits or coconut flakes for a fruity twist.
