Summer is just around the corner, so it's time to start prepping your skin for shorts and swimsuit season. For a glow from within, fill your plate with tomatoes and peaches. Tomatoes are the best source of the anti-aging antioxidant lycopene, a skin-repairing element that reduces inflammation and cancer risk. Peaches are a good source of vitamin C, which aids collagen production.
Serves 8
Ingredients:
8 ripe medium beefsteak tomatoes
2 ripe peaches, pitted and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (2 cups)
3 Kirby cucumbers, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (1 1/3 cups)
Kernels from 2 ears corn (1 1/2 cups)
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more to taste
1/2 cup shredded fresh basil leaves, plus sprigs for garnish
Directions:
Slice off tops of tomatoes (about a half-inch). Scoop out the seeds and ribs, and coarsely chop. Stir together chopped tomatoes, peaches, cucumbers, corn, oil, one tablespoon lime juice, salt and pepper. Let stand for 15 minutes. Taste and adjust for acidity, adding up to one tablespoon more lime juice. Stir in basil.
Season inside of tomato shells with salt and pepper. Fill tomatoes with tomato mixture and garnish with basil sprigs. Serve immediately.
