Can I prepare this salad a day in advance?
Yes, preparing it a few hours in advance or even the night before allows the flavors to develop, but it’s best to add the nuts just before serving to keep them crunchy.

If you prefer, you can omit marshmallows or replace them with small chunks of angel food cake for a similar texture and sweetness.
