Peach Cucumber Salad
If you’ve ever visited a farmers’ market in the summer, you may have experienced the scent of ripe peaches in a stall before you actually saw the rosy fruit. Peaches are one of the most luscious fruits, and their sweetness is perfect mixed with fresh cucumber in this salad.
Peaches are high in vitamin C, fiber, and beta-carotene. They promote healthy skin and eyes, detoxify the body, and support the digestive system.

Cooking Tip
When choosing peaches for recipes such as this one, look for ripe but still-firm fruit. Ripe peaches are incredibly tasty, but when diced and tossed with other ingredients, they tend to get mushy.
