Fold in the mini marshmallows, ensuring they are mixed throughout the salad.
If desired, add the chopped pecans for a nutty crunch and mix lightly to incorporate.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the marshmallows to soften.
Serve chilled as a dessert or sweet side dish. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
