Summer is here which means it is time to break out the grill! Sweet peaches, crispy romaine, and our perfectly spiced Rocoto Basil dressing come together to bring you a delicious and light meal.
Peach season is at its peak and this recipe is the perfect way to highlight the fruit. Peaches are considered a stone fruit because their flesh surrounds a hard pit, which somewhat resembles a stone. Peaches are packed with tons of antioxidants to help aid in skin health and slow down aging. The fresher and riper the peach, the higher the antioxidant content. Peaches also provide an excellent source of vitamin A and C as well as minerals such as potassium and iron. Be sure to check out your local farmers' markets to find the freshest peaches in town!
