Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large ripe peaches, diced
- 1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (use half for less heat)
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare all your vegetables and fruit: dice the peaches, finely dice the red onion, mince the jalapeño, and chop the cilantro.
- Place the diced peaches, red onion, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro into a medium mixing bowl.
- Pour the fresh lime juice over the ingredients in the bowl.
- Add the salt and black pepper.
- Gently fold all the ingredients together until they are evenly combined. Do not overmix, as this can break down the peaches.
- Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice if needed for balance.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For the best flavor, use peaches that are ripe but still firm enough to hold their shape when diced.
- If you plan to serve this with grilled fish or chicken, consider adding a pinch of cumin to the mixture.
- This salsa tastes best when made the same day, but it keeps well in the refrigerator for up to two days.
