Peach and Beet Salsa

Community Supported Agriculture - Beets are one of my favorite vegetables! We have beautiful beets from our CSA farmers at Fruitful Hills, and we have beets from the farmers at Bad Seed (http://www.badseedkc.com/). We've been eating beets in salads, and beet chips that we made. What else can we make with beets?

We also have wonderful organic peaches from Bad Seed. These peaches are packed with flavor! When it comes to peaches, bigger is not better. Organic peaches are naturally small - and tasty!

So, we are combining the beets and peaches to make a light, sweet and spicy salsa made from fresh, local ingredients.
