Peach Salsa
How Now Brown Cow?
“Sugar — in the form of lactose — contributes about 55 percent of skim milk’s calories, giving it ounce for ounce the same calorie load as soda” — Neal Barnard, President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
That just happens to be one answer to a question we get asked every day at Plan Z the Diet by Zola. “Why do you suggest I quit drinking milk?”
But wait. There’s more.
After infancy, you don’t need milk. It’s a simple fact. Milk is a substance produced by mammals to nourish their newborn babies. Baby mammals — including humans — depend on milk until their digestive systems have had enough time to mature and allow them to eat solid food.
After they begin eating solid food, the animals don’t go back to drinking milk.

This is a ZReduction recipe. This lovely, light peach salsa can be served with all kinds of light meat and fish. I’d serve it over grilled chicken. I served it last time with sautéed scallops.
Servings: Serves 4
Ingredients:
3 medium, ripe peaches cut into small bits. For this dish I just wash the peaches. I don’t bother to peel them. Be sure to cut around the pits and toss them.
½ red bell pepper, chopped
½ cup of red onion, diced
2 Tbl of fresh lime juice
1 Tbl of fresh, minced cilantro
1 tsp of minced jalapeno
½ tsp of grated sea salt
Instructions:
Put the peach bits and a bit of water that can cover the bottom of a medium saute pan. Cook on medium just to loosen and warm the peach bits. Don’t cook to mush. Transfer to a bowl.
Put all ingredients in the bowl and stir. Let set in the refrigerator until ready to serve on top of your cooked entrée. If you want this to be really zippy, make it earlier in the day so the jalapeno bits can influence the flavor even more.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Zola
