2 fresh peaches, finely chopped 1 large cucumber, diced 1 Roma tomato, diced, or more to taste ½ cup cream of coconut ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro 1 tablespoon lime juice 1 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by chopping the peaches, cucumber, tomato, and red onion into bite-sized pieces and toss them together in a big bowl. Add in the cream of coconut, chopped cilantro, a good squeeze of lime juice, and a pinch of chili powder. Give everything a gentle stir to mix it all up. Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge for about an hour or two so the flavors can meld together. When you’re ready to serve, let the salsa sit out for a little bit to take the chill off—it tastes best at a cool room temperature. Enjoy!
