Ingredients
  

1 cup jasmine rice

2 cups water or low-sodium vegetable broth

2 ripe peaches, diced

1 cup cooked black beans

1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/2 teaspoon chili powder or cayenne pepper for added heat

Instructions
 

Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, add the jasmine rice and pour in the water or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and allow it to simmer for about 15 minutes. The rice should be tender, and the liquid fully absorbed. After cooking, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes before fluffing the rice gently with a fork.

    Prepare the Peach Salsa: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced peaches, cooked black beans, and corn kernels. Add the chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and honey or agave syrup. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and if you prefer a spicy kick, stir in the chili powder or cayenne pepper. Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly, then let the salsa sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

      Assemble the Rice Bowl: Take serving bowls and start by placing a generous scoop of warm jasmine rice as the base in each bowl.

        Add Toppings: Spoon the vibrant peach salsa generously over the rice in each bowl. Then, elegantly fan out the fresh avocado slices on top and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese for a creamy contrast. If you like, add some additional chopped cilantro for a pop of color and freshness.

          Serve and Enjoy: Serve the rice bowls immediately, while the rice is still warm and inviting. Delight in this refreshing combination of sweet, savory, and creamy flavors that make for a perfect meal!
