Zesty Cucumber Pineapple Peach Salsa

Ingredients:

1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced into 1/4 cubes (unpeeled if English cucumber)
1 c finely diced ripe pineapple
1 ripe peach, peeled or unpeeled, pit removed, and diced into 1/2 inch cubes
1/4 finely diced red bell pepper
1 t minced jalapeno pepper
1 T minced shallot
2 T finely chopped mint and/or cilantro
1 T maple syrup or honey
1 T lime juice
pinch of salt

Method:

Combine all ingredients in a non-metallic bowl. Let sit at room temperature for at least an hour. If you are not using the salsa right away, refrigerate it a few hours or overnight.

Makes about 3 cups. Serve as an accompaniment to grilled fish or chicken. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping.

Variations: Add some diced mango or strawberries to the salsa. Add some freshly squeezed orange juice instead of lime for a sweeter flavor. Try a dash of cumin powder for a spicier version. Add some black beans and chilled diced cooked chicken and serve over a bed of greens for a hearty main course salad. Try this salsa over vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt for a zesty dessert. Additionally, if you have any leftover salsa, add it to the ingredients for your fruit smoothie in the morning.
