Daily Deliciousness: Salsa On Over Here

A few days ago I realized that the end of peach season is quickly approaching and I almost started to panic. There were still so many peach recipes that I wanted to try! At the top of my list was peach salsa; I’ve never made any type of homemade salsa before, but I figured it couldn’t be too difficult. It wasn’t. I took a tally of ingredients that I had on hand and essentially made this up on the spot, but I think it turned out pretty tasty! Since I’m cooking for one, I typically cut recipes in half so that I don’t have quite as many leftovers. Despite cutting this recipe in half, it still made a ton! I’ll give the recipe in measurements that I used, but know that you can easily double it by using the whole piece of each ingredient! 
Peach Salsa

Ingredients:
1/4 cucumber, diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 red onion, diced
1/2 peach, diced
1/2 tomato, diced
1/2 avocado, diced
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice (or lime)
garlic powder, to taste

1) Cut up and dice cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, peach, tomato, and avocado.
2) Combine first five ingredients (cucumber through tomato) in a medium-sized bowl.
3) Gently toss all ingredients together before carefully adding in the avocado. Mine was a bit too ripe, and I didn’t want it to get mashed from too much handling.
4) Add 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 tablespoon of lemon or lime juice, and garlic powder if desired.
5) Cover and let sit for at least an hour to let flavors marry together. Or eat it right away.

I decided to incorporate my peach salsa into dinner tonight by topping a simple grilled chicken breast with it. It would also be a good addition in tacos or taco salads, and will always go well with tortilla chips. Let me know if you try it, I love hearing about and seeing people try my recipes!

ciao down,
