Normally, I don’t share my own recipes here on Earth Eats. But I am making an exception this time. This recipe is simple and delightfully suited to summer, and I hope you'll try it. Be sure to let us know what you think!

2 apricots, quartered and sliced thinly

1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced, plus a few of the feathery fronds

1 tablespoon of olive oil

½ of a jalapeno, finely chopped

½ teaspoon salt

a few grinds of pepper
