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:

  • Select the right peaches: Choose ripe, firm peaches with a sweet aroma. Avoid peaches that are too soft or bruised.
  • Use a variety of cucumbers: For a more complex flavor, use a combination of English cucumbers, Persian cucumbers, and Kirby cucumbers.
  • Chop the vegetables evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly and create a more cohesive salsa.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be slightly crunchy, not mushy.
  • Add the cilantro and lime juice just before serving: This will keep the flavors bright and prevent them from becoming muted.
  • Serve the salsa immediately: Peach and cucumber salsa is best when served fresh. However, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
