Scale
- 3 medium fresh peaches, ripe but firm, diced

- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- ½ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste

Instructions
- Wash and dry peaches, then dice into roughly ½-inch pieces.
- Cut jalapeños lengthwise, scoop out seeds if desired, and finely chop.

- In a medium mixing bowl, gently toss together diced peaches, jalapeños, red onion, and minced garlic if using.
- Add chopped cilantro and stir to combine.
