How to Make Apple And Peanuts Salad

  1. Peel and chop 2 medium apples into bite-sized pieces. Chop 2 stalks celery into ½-inch pieces.
  2. Add 1 cup of seedless green grapes, halved if large, and ½ cup mini marshmallows to a large bowl. Combine with the apples and celery.
  3. In a separate chilled mixing bowl, beat 1 (12-ounce) can of evaporated milk with an electric mixer until frothy.
  4. Gradually add ½ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the evaporated milk. Beat until well combined.
  5. Add ½ cup mayonnaise and ½ cup creamy peanut butter to the evaporated milk mixture. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  6. Gently pour the creamy peanut butter mixture over the apple mixture. Stir to coat evenly.
  7. Stir in ½ cup mixed nuts (such as peanuts, walnuts, or pecans), if desired.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
