View the previous or next recipe for this meal.

Sweet, spicy refreshing salad with bursts of cilantro and bits of crunchy pumpkin seeds throughout. Mix and match the stone fruit and berries as available. Nectarines or apricots with blackberries or raspberries could work instead. If you are spice sensitive start with half of a jalapeno and add more to taste.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds, toasted*
  • 1 jalapeno, more or less
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, minced
  • 1 lime, zest and juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 peaches
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cucumber

Serving Size: 4 People



 

Preparation Instructions

*If you are starting with raw pumpkin seeds, place them in a skillet over medium-high heat. Shaking occasionally until lightly golden and toasty. Remove from the heat and cool for the recipe.

Finely mince the jalapeno. Zest the lime, if desired, and juice it. Add the lime zest and juice to the minced jalapeno. Whisk in the olive oil, cilantro, salt and pepper to taste.

Slice off a piece of the cucumber, taste the skin. Keep it if you like it or if it is too bitter peel it off. Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise. Place cut side down and thinly slice into half moon shapes.

Halve the peaches, remove the pits and thinly slice. Rinse the blueberries well, shake dry.

Toss the fruit slices, blueberries and cucumbers together. Fold in the dressing and toasted pumpkin seeds. Adding more or less of each, to taste.
