Equipment
- Sharp knife
- Cutting board
- Mixing bowl
- Serving dish
Ingredients
For the Salsa
- 2 medium ripe peaches (about 2 cups diced)
- 1 small red onion finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño seeded and minced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 lime juice
- Salt to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
- Start by washing the peaches thoroughly. Dice them into small, bite-sized pieces. Combine the diced peaches in a mixing bowl, adding the finely chopped red onion and minced jalapeño.
- Tip: Choose peaches that are slightly soft to the touch for optimal sweetness and juiciness.
Mix in the Flavor
- Add the fresh cilantro to the bowl, followed by the lime juice and a pinch of salt. The acidity of the lime perfectly balances the sweet peaches and spicy jalapeño.
- Tip: Taste as you go! Adjust the lime and salt according to your preference.
Serve and Enjoy
- Mix everything gently to combine, making sure not to mash the fruit. Transfer the salsa to a serving dish and enjoy it fresh.
- Tip: Allow the salsa to sit for 10–15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together beautifully.
Notes
Pro tips: Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid a mushy salsa. Customize the heat by adjusting the amount of jalapeño. Serve chilled for an extra refreshing taste. This salsa can be a great topping for fish tacos or grilled chicken. Make a large batch and use it as a flavorful condiment for multiple meals.
