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)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the peaches, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using).

Step 2

Slice the peaches into thin wedges, discarding the pits. Place the slices in a large salad bowl.

Step 3

Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl with the peaches.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

If using, thinly slice the jalapeño (remove the seeds for less heat) and add to the salad.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of the lime, extra virgin olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until combined.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the peach mixture and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 8

Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant, zesty salad as a side dish or a light appetizer.
