Peach Salsa is one of my favorite fresh summer recipes because it is sweet, savory and comes together in minutes. When peaches are ripe and juicy, this salsa is the perfect mix of fruit, tomatoes, jalapeño, lime, and cilantro, and it goes with everything from chips to tacos.
We are lucky enough to have peach trees, and we love making this salsa with peaches picked right from our own yard. There is just something extra special about using homegrown fruit, it tastes so fresh and makes this salsa feel like the ultimate summertime treat.
If you love fresh salsas like this, be sure to try Mango Salsa, Pineapple Salsa, Pico de Gallo, and Fruit Salsa.
Why we think you’ll love it:
- Best of both worlds. It is sweet, savory, and slightly spicy. The fresh fruit is perfectly complemented by the spice of peppers!
- Made in minutes. Just chop and mix; it comes together in minutes.
- Have it your way. It pairs beautifully with everything from chips, chicken, or fish. Plus, you can easily adjust the spice level to your liking.

How to Make Peach Salsa

Taste the salsa and add additional juice or salt and pepper as needed.
Kristyn’s Recipe Tips
- Use ripe but firm peaches so they hold their shape.
- You do not need to peel the peaches. I like to rub the fuzz off before washing and slicing, but that is optional.
- Dice everything evenly for the best texture and the best bite.
- Let the salsa chill for at least 20 minutes before serving. This will let the flavor meld.
- Adjust jalapeño and chili powder to adjust the spice level as desired. For a mild salsa, remove the membrane and seeds, but leave them in for a hot salsa.
- Serve the same day for maximum freshness.

Couild. You skip. Spicy. Like. Cilantro and. Jalapeno pepper I. Dont. Like. Spicy.
If you don’t like spice/heat, just make sure to remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeños. Then you’ll mostly just get the flavor and real mild spice. You can also omit the chili powder. That’ll keep the spice really mild too.
Looks so yummy!! I have had mango salsa many times, but never peach, will have to do this next time.
