Peach Salsa Ingredients
- 3 medium fresh peaches, pitted and diced (about 1 ¼ pounds total)
- ½ cup finely chopped red onion
- ½ cup quartered multicolored cherry tomatoes
- ¼ cup packed chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- ½ small serrano chile, sliced into thin rings
- 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, finely chopped red onion, quartered cherry tomatoes, chopped fresh cilantro, sliced serrano chile, grated lime zest, fresh lime juice, kosher salt, and chili powder.
- Mix Gently: Stir the ingredients gently to evenly incorporate all the flavors without mashing the peaches and tomatoes.
- Allow Flavors to Meld: Let the salsa sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This resting time helps the flavors blend together and allows the fruit juices to release, enhancing the salsa’s taste.
- Serve Fresh: Serve the peach salsa fresh as a dip with tortilla chips, or use it as a bright, flavorful topping for tacos, grilled fish, or salads to add a fruity, zesty punch.
Notes
- For extra heat, add more serrano chile or substitute with jalapeño if preferred.
- Use fully ripe peaches for the best sweetness and flavor.
- Can be refrigerated for up to 2 days, but is best enjoyed fresh.
- Great for summer gatherings and pairs well with grilled dishes.
- Adjust salt and chili powder to taste depending on your preference.
