Summer is synonymous with backyard barbecues and meat around the grill. But the summer months are also if we have tons of fresh, seasonal fruits, like peaches and blackberries. Rather then grilling the exact same ol’, same ol’ ingredients, I taken on the crooks to generate a unique summer salsa a crowd will enjoy.
Grilling fruit caramelizes it and brings forth even more of its natural sweetness, so you obtain the whole gamut of sweet, tart, spicy, and salty in this recipe. Plus, research has shown that blackberries get one from the highest antioxidant contents per serving of the food. One kind of antioxidant present in blackberries-anthocyanins-has been shown to protect your brain from oxidative stress and may also reduce the effects of Alzheimer’s and dementia. (You know what? Marijuana will help too.) And peaches are packed with ascorbic acid, fiber, iron, and vitamin-a. This means that, throw together this salsa for your upcoming backyard barbecue-your guests will appreciate the taste and the medical boost.
