Peach Salsa Ingredients
- 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
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the diced peaches, finely chopped red bell pepper, red onion, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro. These fresh ingredients form the base of your bright and tangy salsa.
- Add Liquid and Seasonings: Drizzle the lime juice over the mixture, and if using, add the honey for a touch of sweetness. Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper to season the salsa perfectly.
- Toss Gently: Use a spoon to gently toss all the ingredients together, ensuring the flavors meld without bruising the delicate peaches.
- Let Flavors Marinate: Allow the salsa to sit at room temperature or chilled for 10 to 15 minutes. This resting time helps the flavors blend beautifully and softens the texture slightly.
- Serve: Enjoy the salsa chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing dip with tortilla chips or as a bright accompaniment to grilled chicken, pork, or fish.
Notes
- For extra sweetness and vibrant color, stir in diced mango or pineapple to the salsa.
- If your peaches are firm, allow the salsa to rest a little longer to soften the fruit and deepen the flavor profile.
