peach cucumber salsa

i admit, this peach salsa recipe doesn't fall far from the tree. you may remember her cousin, mango salsa from the month of june. i suppose these two are bookends to a summer full of fresh fruit. i warn you, after a couple days, the juicy peaches really take over and will undoubtedly dribble down your chin. but the good news is, the salsa becomes the perfect consistency for a marinade for grilled chicken. simply stick your boneless, skinless chicken in a gallon ziplock and pour the salsa remains over it, adding diced onions and garlic if you'd like. let it marinate in the fridge for a few hours. grill chicken for just peachy fajitas.
