FAQ

Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?

Yeah, you can use fresh peaches but make sure to peel and slice them. The canned ones are already prepped so they save time.

Do I really have to drain the peaches?

Absolutely, drain them well cause extra liquid might make the salad too watery.

Can I swap out the mini marshmallows for something else?

Yup, you can try using chopped nuts or dried cranberries, but it will change the texture and taste a bit.

How long can I store this salad in the fridge?

It should keep well for up to 2 days, but its best served the same day to keep the flavors fresh.

Is there a way to make this recipe healthier?

You can try using sugar-free marshmallows and a light whipped topping if you're looking to cut down on calories.

Millionaire Peach Salad Recipe Substitutions and Variations

For the peaches: If you dont have canned peaches, you can use fresh sliced peaches. Just peel em, slice thin, and add a touch of sugar.
For the mini marshmallows: If you dont like ’em or cant find them, try mini chocolate chips or even chopped walnuts for a different texture.
For the whipped topping: Instead of Cool Whip, you can whip up your own heavy cream or use a coconut whipped cream for a lighter twist.

Pro Tips

1. When you fold the whipped topping in, do it gently so you dont break up the peaches too much and end up with mush instead of chunky fruit pieces
2. If youre after extra flavor, try letting the salad chill for a bit longer than 15 minutes so the ingredients really get to know eachother
3. Experiment with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a handful of chopped nuts on top to add an extra layer of flavor and texture
4. Make sure to drain the peaches really well before mixing so your salad doesnt turn out too watery; a dry base always works best!
