Fiery-Sweet Peach Salsa - NOURISH Network

The heat of the jalapeno and bite of the red onion play nicely off the subtle sweetness of the peaches in this summery salsa recipe. Serve this peach salsa with just about anything grilled, from pork and chicken to salmon. Or if you’re like me, pop open a cold beer, rip open a bag of tortilla chips, and dig in! I like my salsa caliente, so I leave the seeds and stems in the chile pepper. To tame the heat, discard the stems and seeds.

  Oh it’s gonna be gooood with those farm-fresh peaches!
  
  Great question on nutritional info. The answer is, we very deliberately do not include nutritional info with our recipes. And I’ll tell you why. Coming from a background of diet-oriented magazines (I was a contributing editor at Cooking Light for many years and wrote frequently for Prevention, Health, Fitness, etc.), I have seen first-hand how people tend to focus on the numbers when they’re there (avoiding foods that top 10 grams of fat, for instance, not taking into account what kind of fat–and what kind of food–it is). And I feel strongly that I want the food on Nourish Network to be more about illustrating what a “healthy diet” looks like (and how incredibly enticing it can be) than about getting caught up in the numbers.
  
  In return for that leap of faith by readers, you can trust that our recipes adhere to our Nourish principles of focusing on seasonal vegetables and whole grains, using healthy fats and sustainably-sourced meat, poultry and seafood to enhance the dish. And all are under 500 calories.
  
  Thanks!
