Peach & Pineapple Salsa
There is nothing like the flavor of fresh salsa. This is one of the many kinds that we make,
especially when we have access to ripe peaches. The pineapple in this recipe is optional, but I
think it definitely adds another layer of flavor.
Ingredients
• 2 ripe peaches, pitted, scant ½-inch dice
• ½ cup diced pineapple*
• ½ red bell pepper, ¼-inch dice
• ¼ cup chopped cilantro, fresh
• ¼ cup diced red onion
• 1 lime, grated zest and juiced
• 1 small garlic clove, minced
• ½ of a jalapeno pepper, finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
• ¼ tsp sea salt, add more if needed
You will need a medium bowl with a tight-fitting lid.
Instructions
1. In the bowl, toss everything together. season to taste; chill until needed.
*The pineapple can be omitted, but it does add sweetness to the salsa.
Tips
• Sometimes you can find some of the ingredients prechopped in the produce department.
• This is a great topping for grilled chicken and shrimp.

Recipes are like stories; they can change from person to person. Everyone has their idea of how a recipe should be, even
though it may have changed from the original. We will never know the true author of the original recipe, regardless of
what some may say. That's why I go back and look through the oldest cookbooks that I can find. Sometimes it's not the
recipe in the books that I find, but the tiny pieces of handwritten recipes and newspaper articles that are stuck within
the pages. That's where the real story is, finding those simple Southern recipes. -Mac
