Nope no peaches in it. But that sounds good!

Jicama (a root vegetable) has a crunch like apples when raw, with a neutral flavor, so it could be flavored to taste like apples. https://www.isabeleats.com/what-is-jicama/

Thank you. Yes I have had jicama. It is an amazing root. Takes on the tase of anything you mix it with. But sadly that isn't it.

Could you provide a description of the salad? Salad can be so many things, depending on where you live. For example, in the US Midwest, a 'salad' is a combination of ingredients that aren't necessarily vegetables and/or fruit that is served cold. What else is in this salad?

All I can remember it it was a salad that could pass as a dessert, Very creamy . Cream cheese and or whipped cream in it. It may have had grapes, not sure. I just wish I could remember what was in it.

Last thoughts...I have a recipe for a cream cheese so-called salad with peaches (source - British friend's mom from 1950s or 1960s, when such dishes were also popular in US). Does this come close? If yes, I can post recipe.

With what you've written in your question, here's one recipe from food52, maybe what you remember, and a bunch from a web search.
If none of these, please tell us more about the salad, so we can find it.

Thank you . But that wasn't it.
All I can remember it it tastes like it had apples in it, but there were none and it was very creamy and white like cream cheese or wiped cream

Jody - last idea - could it have had pears or another tree fruit that made you think of apples?
If not, I give up. Maybe someone else can recognize it.

Thanks. I think I am giving up as well. I will run across it someday!
Thank you everyone.
