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 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 mixture gently to evenly distribute all the ingredients without bruising the peaches or tomatoes.
- Let flavors meld: Allow the salsa to stand at room temperature for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This resting time helps the flavors blend and the peaches to release their juices, enhancing the salsa’s taste and texture.
- Serve fresh: Serve the peach salsa immediately with tortilla chips or as a fresh topping for tacos, grilled fish, or salads to add a bright, fruity kick.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture and sweetness in the salsa.
- Adjust the amount of serrano chile according to your heat preference; remove seeds to reduce spiciness.
- For a milder version, substitute serrano chile with jalapeño or omit entirely.
- Fresh lime juice is key to brightening the flavors; avoid bottled lime juice if possible.
- This salsa is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day. Stir before serving if chilled.
