4 small jalapeño peppers*, (leave the seeds in for an extra kick)
1/2 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves
1/4-1/2 cup fresh cilantro
6 tomatoes of varying sizes, chopped
1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt + more to taste
2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice, (about 1/2 lemon, juiced)
Add all ingredients to the bowl of a food processor. I like to add in the jalapeños, onion and garlic first and then the cilantro and tomatoes, so the tomatoes do not get too liquid-y. Pulse about 10 or so times and until all ingredients are combined and diced, but be sure to stop before the salsa becomes too watery. However, you can pulse longer if you do like your salsa with more liquid.
Taste the salsa and add more ingredients as desired. I would advise stirring in the extra ingredients, not pulsing in the food processor. The salsa will become too watery, quickly.
Transfer to a bowl and enjoy!
I prefer to refrigerate salsa for 1 day prior to serving to allow the flavors to intensify. Salsa will keep for about 1 week in an airtight container or jar in the fridge; however, it’s never lasted that long in this household.
2 tablespoons pesto (you can use refrigerated or make your own)
1 cup butterhead lettuce, baby arugula OR baby spinach
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup (2 ounces) cheese- fresh mozzarella, soft goat cheese, or cheese of your choice
Preheat broiler and/or Panini Press. Arrange eggplant slices in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush both sides of eggplant with olive oil. Cut pepper in half lengthwise; discard seeds and insides. Arrange pepper halves, skin sides up, on baking sheet with eggplant; flatten the peppers with your hand as much as possible. Broil 4 minutes; turn eggplant over (do not turn bell pepper). Broil an additional 4 minutes; remove eggplant from pan. Broil bell pepper an additional 7 minutes or until blackened or soft. If using a sweet bell pepper, peel off blackened skin. Broil bread slices for 2 minutes or until lightly browned, turning once. Spread 1 tbsp. pesto on one side of bread. On top of the pesto layer with 2 eggplant slices, 1 onion slice, 1 pepper half, and 2 eggplant slices. Toss green(s) with remaining a little olive oil and black pepper; divide arugula mixture among both sandwiches. Layer with top slice of bread. You can eat or press in Panini for additional 3 minutes and then enjoy.

Strip the corn kernels off the cobs, chop the peaches; put in a large bowl.
