Tips for the Best Peach Salad
Use Softened Cream Cheese – Blends smoothly and prevents lumps.
Don’t Overmix – Fold gently to keep it fluffy.
Drain Peaches Well – Too much juice will water down the salad.
Add Texture – Chopped nuts or coconut give a nice contrast.
Chill Time Matters – Allows flavors to meld and improves consistency.
