  • 2 medium peaches, pitted and diced into 1/4-inch cubes
  • 1 medium tomato, cored and diced into 1/4-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1 small jalapeno, minced
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Grilled Tahini Chicken

  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1/2 cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 medium cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs

Instructions

Peach Feta Salsa

  • In a large bowl, combine all salsa ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Grilled Tahini Chicken

  • In a large shallow bowl, whisk tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and cumin until smooth. Season marinade with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Submerge chicken thighs in marinade until evenly coated. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and allow to marinate in refrigerator 2 hours or up to 12.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill to 400F OR prepare a large skillet to use indoors on stovetop by greasing well. Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry.
