Recipe: Savory Summer Peach and Avocado Salad!

     In celebration of National Peach Month, I would love to share this recipe that I just discovered. It was sent out in the Vegetarian Resource Group's last emailing. It is amazing, I made it twice in one week! So fresh and healthy, and the flavors work wonderfully together!

2 cups diced, fresh, ripe, pitted peaches (not peeled)
2 cups diced, fresh, ripe, pitted, peeled apricots (I didn't peel them!)
2 Tablespoons minced, fresh chilies (I used jalapeno)
1/2 cup diced, peeled, ripe avocado (I used more avocado!)
1/4 cup diced fresh red bell pepper
1 Tablespoon minced red onion
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 Tablespoons peach nectar or orange juice (I didn't add this)
I did add some salt and pepper, to taste

In a non-reactive bowl, combine ingredients. Allow salad to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Serves 10

     I hope you enjoy this! I absolutely love it! I ate it as a side with tacos and took it to a cookout. It would also make a great addition to a lunch!
