Scale
Fruit and Vegetables
- 3 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Seasonings and Others
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro to create the salsa base with fresh, natural flavors.
- Add Lime Juice and Honey: Drizzle the mixture with the juice of one lime and add honey if using, which balances the heat with subtle sweetness.
- Season: Sprinkle the salsa with salt and black pepper to enhance the flavors and provide seasoning depth.
- Toss Gently: Toss all the ingredients gently to combine thoroughly without breaking the fruit pieces.
- Rest to Blend Flavors: Let the salsa sit for 10–15 minutes to allow all the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve: Serve the peach salsa chilled or at room temperature alongside chips, or as an accompaniment to grilled chicken, pork, or fish.
Notes
- For extra sweetness and vibrant color, mix in diced mango or pineapple.
- If using firmer peaches, allow the salsa to rest a bit longer to soften the fruit and enhance the overall flavor.
