Early season peach salsa
The Lone Oak Ranch from Reedley, CA has offered year around seasonal fruit, almonds, cherries, grapes, and raisins at our hosptial farmers market now for over 6 years. It is always a special treat when their peaches and nectarines first show up. I had a yellow and white peach from the most recent market which became the foundation for an excellent salsa modified from a recipe I saw in the San Francisco Chronicle. It tasted great over some leftover roasted chicken on a bed of garden lettuces dressed with a little lemon vinaigrette.
Could go well with chicken, fish, or pork.
