Sometimes, the best summer snack is the simplest one. Start with something store-bought, add one fresh seasonal ingredient and you’ve got an easy upgrade that looks and tastes like you put in way more effort.

Scoop store-bought guacamole into a shallow bowl. Top with chopped Ontario peaches, a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a pinch of chili flakes. Serve with your favourite tortilla chips. The sweet, juicy peach plays off the creamy guacamole, while the lime and chili keep things lively.

Ontario peach season runs July through September. Look for locally grown varieties at farmers’ markets for peak flavour.

SERVE WITH

Pair guac and chips with a crisp lager or a dry Ontario craft cider like Pommies Farmhouse Cider (LCBO 418582, 473 mL, $3.70).
