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 multicolored cherry tomatoes, chopped fresh cilantro leaves, sliced serrano chile, grated lime zest, fresh lime juice, kosher salt, and chili powder.
- Mix Gently: Stir the mixture gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed without bruising the fruit.
- Let Flavors Meld: Allow the salsa to stand at room temperature for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This resting time helps the flavors to meld and the fruits to release their juices, enhancing the salsa’s taste and texture.
- Serve Fresh: Serve the peach salsa fresh alongside tortilla chips, or use it as a delicious topping for tacos, grilled fish, or salads.
Notes
- For a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the serrano chile before slicing.
- You can substitute serrano chile with jalapeño for less heat.
- Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushy salsa.
- Best served fresh, but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day in an airtight container.
- Add a pinch of cumin for a smoky touch if desired.
