If you happen to be growing any cucumbers, here’s a recipe you can use them in—Peach-Cucumber Salsa! It’s perfect for summer because this salsa is a little fruity, lightly sweet, and a little spicy—it’s great as a snack with tortilla chips or served as a side dish with chicken or fish.

Another nice thing about this recipe is that it’s very easy to make! I like that this salsa has peaches in it too because that’s one of my favorite summer fruits. The lime juice and peach preserves add a nice light touch of tangy sweetness—and if you want a sweeter salsa, stir some honey into it!

You can also make this salsa even fruitier by substituting small chunks of watermelon for the red bell pepper.
