PINEAPPLE SALSA CHICKEN
These flavorful chicken breasts are grilled to perfection, then topped with a sweet and spicy, colorful pineapple salsa. The dish is mildly spicy, however you can adjust the amount of jalapeno to suit your tastes. Use your favorite brand of seasoning and adjust the salt right before serving, as some brands are saltier than others.

PEACH AND CUCUMBER SALSA
Low calorie, fat free vegan recipe from Whole Foods; it is highly rated on their website. They suggest serving it atop grilled fish but I think it would also be great with chicken or pork tenderloin. You can make it up to 4 hours ahead of serving, just keep it in the refrigerator. I think mango and a splash of OJ would be a great addition to this recipe as well! NOTE: I just made this recipe and I added the OJ for a touch of sweetness and added a couple drops of jalapeno sauce for more kick. I also didn't care for the mint, so I changed that to optional. . .the basil was nice I thought.

Tips:
- Utilize Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor and nutritional value, use fresh, ripe peaches and cucumbers. Choose firm peaches with a sweet aroma and cucumbers that are crisp and have a deep green color.
- Properly Season the Chicken: Season the chicken generously with a blend of spices and herbs. This will enhance the flavor of the chicken and make it more flavorful.
- Grill the Chicken to Perfection: To achieve the ideal texture, grill the chicken until it is cooked through but still tender and juicy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Make the Salsa Fresh: Prepare the peach cucumber salsa just before serving to maintain its freshness and vibrant flavors. This will prevent the salsa from becoming watery or losing its crisp texture.
- Balance the Flavors: Adjust the amount of lime juice, honey, and cilantro in the salsa to suit your taste preferences. You can add more lime juice for a tangy kick, more honey for sweetness, or more cilantro for a refreshing flavor.
