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 cilantro, sliced serrano chile, grated lime zest, fresh lime juice, kosher salt, and chili powder.
- Mix Gently: Stir all the ingredients gently but thoroughly to ensure an even mix without crushing the delicate fruit pieces.
- Let Flavors Meld: Allow the salsa to stand at room temperature for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This resting time helps the flavors to meld together and allows the fruits to release their natural juices, enhancing the salsa’s freshness and taste.
- Serve: Serve the peach salsa fresh as a dip with tortilla chips or as a flavorful topping for tacos, grilled fish, or mixed into salads for a refreshing twist.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for the best natural sweetness and juiciness.
- If you prefer less heat, reduce or omit the serrano chile.
- The salsa is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; stir gently before serving.
- Adjust lime juice and salt to taste according to your preference.
- Perfect for summer gatherings and pairs well with grilled dishes.
