Servings: 8
- 3 peaches fresh, yellow, ripe - diced into 1/2 inch cubes
- ¼ red onion chopped
- ½ red bell pepper chopped
- 2 roma tomatoes chopped
- 1 jalapeno diced, remove the seeds for less spice
- ½ cup cilantro chopped
- ½ cup fresh lime juice 1-2 limes
- garlic salt and pepper to taste
- sugar sprinkle
- chili powder optional sprinkle
Rub peaches softly with a cloth to remove peach fuzz. Rinse and dry.
Chop peaches, tomato, onion, bell pepper, jalapeño (include seeds for more spice, remove seeds to make it milder), and cilantro. Add to a medium bowl.
Add lime juice, salt, pepper, and sugar. Gently toss to combine. Add chili powder for additional spice if needed (optional)
Taste the salsa, and add additional juice or salt and pepper as needed.
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.
Store fresh peach salsa in a mason jar, Tupperware, or any airtight container. Keep it in the fridge. It will last for up to 4 days.
Serving suggestions. Peach jalapeno salsa will go wonderfully with any Mexican dish, but our favorites include: Chicken Tacos, Green Chili Smothered Burrito, Chicken Quesadillas, Loaded Nachos. It can also be served on top of chicken, fish, pork, or steak!
