Ingredients in Peach Salsa
*Feel free to adjust the amounts of any of the ingredients to your liking!
- Peaches, diced – I always use fresh peaches (canned and frozen make the texture a little weird). I typically don’t peel my peaches but you definitely can.
- Red onion minced
- Jalapeno deseeded, minced – If you’d like to make this a little spicier, add some of the jalapeno seeds.
- Fresh cilantro minced
- Lime juice – You can use bottled lime juice if you don’t have a fresh lime on hand.
- Sugar
How to Make Peach Salsa
- Prep by dicing peaches and mincing the red onion, jalapeno and fresh cilantro.
- Add all ingredients to a small bowl and then toss until mixed together.
- Enjoy with tortilla chips, grilled chicken or however you desire!
Can I adjust the level of spiciness in the salsa?
Yes, you can! I am notoriously a wimp when it comes to spicy things, so this recipe is for a mild salsa. If you’d like to crank up the heat, add in jalapeno seeds or additional jalapenos.
Can I make the salsa ahead of time, and how should I store it?
Making peach salsa in advance is a great idea because it gives the flavors more time to meld. I recommend storing it in an airtight container in the fridge after you’ve mixed it up for up to 5 days.
What dishes can I serve with peach salsa?
This salsa stands well on its own as a dip! But it also works well served on top of grilled chicken, on tacos (especially fish), or in a Mexican rice bowl/salad.
