Peach Salsa & Cucumber Deliciousness!

Peach Salsa And Cucumber Deliciousness

Summer time is the perfect time to find fresh peaches at your local orchards. It is also the best time to make fresh peach salsa and/or fresh peach pico de gallo. You can even get creative and make combination salsas like peach/mango salsa, peach/mango/pineapple salsa, peach/cantaloupe salsa. The possibilities are as far as your imagine will take you.

My friend Gary Wayne in Arkansas gave me this idea for a light healthy appetizer by serving fresh peach salsa over cucumber slices. Cucumbers are also in abundance at your local farmers markets in the summer. It makes for a delicious refreshing appetizer with the sweetness of the peach, the savory flavor of the salsa and the crisp light crunch of the cucumbers.

I also will make fruit salsas and mix with softened cream cheese for a smooth and savory dip which matches perfectly with sliced celery. Again you get the creamy deliciousness of the dip and the firm crispness of the celery for another quick and easy appetizer when guests arrive.

Peach salsa also tastes amazing over baked chicken, grilled salmon, fresh mixed greens salad or even over a warm melted brie!

Experiment with your local peaches as the traditional peaches have a different flavor and sweetness and texture compared to the white peaches. It gives plenty of opportunities to change up the flavor. Head out to your local orchards for fresh peaches and #getcreativeinthekitchenwithsalsa !
