Yield: 6 servings.
6 ripe peaches (about 2½ pounds), peeled, halved, pitted, and cut into small chunks
2 medium cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and cut into small chunks
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
2 tablespoons red onion, diced
1 small garlic clove, minced
1 cup water
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
½ teaspoon coarse salt, plus more to taste
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
4 tablespoons coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley or cilantro
1 small jalapeño pepper, cored, seeded, and finely diced
In a large mixing bowl, combine peaches, cucumbers, bell pepper, onion, and garlic, and toss.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together water, vinegar, olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
Pour dressing over peach mixture and toss. Gazpacho will be chunky; add more water to achieve desired consistency. Stir in herbs. Add more vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste.
Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving, chilled, in soup cups or bowls. Drizzle each serving with olive oil and garnish with jalapeño pepper.

Us? An icon? Well, after 90 years and more than 2,000 issues celebrating North Carolina from mountains to coast, we hope you’ll agree that we’ve earned the title.
After nearly a century — or just a couple of years — these seafood restaurants have become coastal icons, the places we know, love, and return to again and again.
One of the last old-school fish houses in Onslow County stands sentry on the White Oak River. Clyde Phillips Seafood Market has served up seafood and stories since 1954 — an icon of the coast, persevering in pink.
