Grilled peach salsa
Serve this sweet and spicy salsa with chips or pair it with your favorite protein.
I develop favorites. Some last longer than others. Like Aretha Franklin has brought tears to my eyes with her music almost my whole life.
Another favorite that has lasted a long time is Eating Well magazine as a source for good healthy food ideas. When peaches are ripe and abundant at the farmers market, there are many great peach recipes to try.
Next time you have a bounty of ripe peaches, try this wonderful grilled salsa.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 1 teaspoon canola oil
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
- Zest and juice of one lime
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
Directions
- Preheat grill to medium heat.
- Brush the cut sides of the peaches with the oil.
- Grill them over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until they just begin to brown. I grilled mine with the lid down so the peaches cooked through a bit.
- Chop the peaches into 1/4-inch pieces and toss with the other ingredients. Serve with chips as an appetizer, or pair with your favorite protein as part of a main course.
