- 1 can (15 oz) sliced peaches, drained and chopped
- 1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (Cool Whip or similar)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Drain and Chop Peaches: Open the can of peaches, drain the syrup, and chop the peach slices into bite-sized pieces. Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly to avoid excess liquid in the salad.
- Combine Pudding Mix and Whipped Topping: In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with the whipped topping. Stir until the mixture is well blended and smooth.
- Incorporate Sour Cream: Gently fold in the sour cream into the pudding and whipped topping mixture until evenly distributed. This adds a tangy richness to the salad.
- Add Fruit and Add-Ins: Gently fold in the chopped peaches, drained crushed pineapple, mini marshmallows, sweetened shredded coconut, and chopped pecans. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed.
- Add Vanilla and Chill: Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Notes
- Ensure all the fruit is well-drained to prevent the salad from becoming too watery.
- For a firmer texture, you can chill the salad overnight.
- For a healthier version, use sugar-free pudding mix and light whipped topping.
- You can substitute fresh peaches for canned peaches when in season for a fresher taste.
- If you prefer a nut-free version, omit the pecans or substitute them with sunflower seeds or additional marshmallows.
- For an extra touch of sweetness, add a few maraschino cherries.
- This salad can be made a day ahead and kept refrigerated.
