Turn fresh peaches into a zesty, spicy salsa that makes a flavorful topping for grilled chicken. A simple rub of ginger, garlic and oil can be made ahead and makes an excellent tenderizer for the chicken. Double the salsa recipe to use it later with chips or as a topping for tacos. To peel the peaches, drop them into a saucepan of boiling water for 30 seconds, then use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for a few seconds. The skins will then slip off easily. Serve this dish with a spinach salad.
