Equipment

A large bowl, small bowl, knife, cutting board, and a spoon or rubber spatula.

Ingredients

2 Peaches Ripe, sliced in 1/4-inch slices
1 Cup Cucumbers Thinly sliced – Persian or English Cucumbers.
1 Large Ripe Avocado Cubed
1/4 Cup Red Onion Thinly sliced
1/4 Cup Fresh Cilantro Chopped – Fresh mint and fresh basil leaves are great substitutes.
1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Honey
1 Lime Juiced and zested – (about 1 tablespoon of Lime Juice and 1 teaspoon of Lime Zest)
1/4 teaspoon Salt and Ground Black Pepper.

Instructions

Prepare the Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl combine the sliced peaches, thinly sliced cucumbers, ripe avocado cubes, sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro (or your choice of fresh herbs). Gently toss everything together to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, honey, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking. Want some extra zing? Add more lime zest or an extra drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
Toss the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to avoid mashing the avocado. Let it sit for a few minutes so the flavors can mingle— trust me, this step makes a difference!
Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your new and delicious way to prepare peaches.

Notes

Peaches: Opt for juicy but firm fresh peaches. If peaches are out of season, nectarines or mangoes will also work.
Lime: You can swap with Fresh Lemon Juice, Orange Juice, or even Apple Cider Vinegar for a different tang.
Honey: Ensure the honey is soft, or you can soften it in the microwave for 5-7 seconds.

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. Keep in mind avocados tend to brown quickly, and fresh peaches can soften over time. For the best taste and texture, enjoying this salad fresh is the perfect way.
