peach and tomato


corn salsa with


cucumber


noodles and mint


SERVES 4
Made up of more than
95 percent water, cucumbers


are super hydrating and make
a refreshing summer snack on hot
days, especially when paired with
juicy peaches and tomatoes.


1 cup fresh corn kernels
(from about 2 ears)
1 large seedless cucumber
1 cup fresh peach cubes


1 cup quartered cherry
tomatoes
½ cup diced red onion
¼ cup chopped fresh mint


4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp honey


In a small pot of boiling water,
cook corn with a pinch of salt
until tender, 3 minutes. Drain
corn and run under cold water


until it reaches room temperature.


Using either the blade that cre-
ates ribbon-style noodles (blade
looks flat) or the blade that makes


spaghetti-style noodles, spiralize
cucumber. Pat noodles dry.


In a bowl, combine cucumber
noodles, corn, peaches, toma-


toes, and onion; refrigerate for
15 minutes or until chilled.


In a second bowl, whisk together
mint, olive oil, vinegar, lime juice,


and honey; pour dressing over
cucumber-noodle mixture and
toss to combine.
