Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe peaches
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro
- 0.5 whole red onion
- 1 whole lime
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 whole jalapeño (optional)
Instructions
Wash and dry the peaches, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using).
Slice the peaches into thin wedges, discarding the pits. Place the slices in a large salad bowl.
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl with the peaches.
Thinly slice the red onion and add the slices to the bowl. If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the slices in cold water for 5 minutes before adding.
If using, thinly slice the jalapeño (remove the seeds for less heat) and add to the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of the lime, extra virgin olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until combined.
Pour the dressing over the peach mixture and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant, zesty salad as a side dish or a light appetizer.
