1-Begin by stirring the instant vanilla pudding mix with the juice from the canned peaches to form a smooth base. This step infuses the pudding with natural peach flavor without any extra liquids.

2-Next, gently fold in the whipped topping to keep the mixture light and airy, avoiding over-mixing to maintain that fluffy texture. Then, stir in the mini marshmallows and chopped pecans for added crunch and sweetness.

3-Once everything is combined, chill the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for the flavors to blend perfectly. Refrigerate it for at least one hour, though it’s best after 2-3 days for full development.

4-Serve it cold in one-cup portions, yielding about 8 servings that are ready to impress.

5-Gather and prepare all ingredients by opening the canned peaches and measuring out the pudding mix.

6-In a large bowl, mix the pudding with the peach juice until it’s fully dissolved.

7-Fold in the whipped topping carefully to preserve the fluff.

8-Add the marshmallows and pecans, stirring gently to incorporate.

9-Adjust for taste and chill before serving.
