These flavors and textures in this recipe are delicious. If you can’t find peaches, use mango or apples.
Note – this is a high potassium recipe because of the peaches, spinach, and avocado. For a lower potassium version leave these ingredients off and use apples and romaine lettuce instead.

Notes
this is a high potassium recipe because of the peaches, spinach, and avocado. For a lower potassium version leave these ingredients off and use apples and romaine lettuce instead.
For a lower potassium modification, use 2 additional cup butter lettuce for spinach, omit avocado, substitute roasted red peppers for tomatoes. Dish will still be high potassium, just not as high.
