Description
A bright and fresh salsa combining juicy peaches and zesty jalapeño, perfect for summer. This easy no-cook recipe is versatile and customizable for heat and flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium fresh peaches (about 2 cups diced)
- 1 jalapeño pepper, finely chopped (seeds in for more heat, seeds out for milder salsa)
- ½ small red onion, finely diced (about ½ cup)
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
Instructions
- Wash peaches and jalapeño thoroughly.
- Dice peaches into small, bite-sized pieces (about ½-inch chunks).
- Finely chop jalapeño, removing seeds if less heat is desired.
- Dice red onion and mince garlic.
- Chop cilantro and halve cherry tomatoes if using.
- Measure out lime juice, salt, and honey.
- In a mixing bowl, gently toss together peaches, jalapeño, red onion, garlic, and tomatoes.
- Add cilantro, lime juice, salt, and honey (if using). Mix carefully to avoid bruising the peaches.
- Taste and adjust seasoning: add more jalapeño or salt for heat, or honey to mellow tartness.
- Optional: Let salsa rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to meld flavors before serving.
Notes
Use firm peaches to avoid mushy salsa. Adjust jalapeño seeds to control heat. Fresh lime juice is essential for brightness. Letting salsa rest enhances flavor. Keeps well refrigerated for up to 2 days; stir before serving.
