Fresh Peach Salsa

Fresh Peach Salsa is a bright and refreshing summer salsa with a bold peach flavor that makes an excellent topping for fish and poultry dishes or can stand alone as a dip for tortilla chips. The juicy sweetness of the peaches is offset by the bite of the red onion. Add a bit of jalapeño for a little heat and this salsa will make the perfect addition to your summer BBQ, luau, or even to dress up your weeknight taco dinner!

I have been on a bit of a salsa kick lately. We just created Kiwi Pineapple Salsa two weeks ago which inspired this peach version. My family loves to add these salsas to chicken and fish tacos as well as use them as a dip for tortilla chips.

Fresh Peach Salsa Ingredients

Let’s take a closer look at the ingredients that make up this delicious salsa.

Peaches

Fresh peaches taste the best for this recipe but canned may be substituted if needed. Peaches should be ripe but not mushy. Additionally, I make the peach cuts slightly larger than the other ingredients to let them shine.

Lime Juice

I used bottled lime juice for this salsa but feel free to use fresh lime juice if preferred. You can even add a little lime zest too if you have fresh limes on hand. (I would use half a teaspoon of lime zest to a full teaspoon depending on how much lime flavor you like.)

Red Onion

Fresh red onion should feel firm to the touch.

Jalapeno

Jalapeños should be firm and the skin smooth. For more heat, feel free to leave the seeds in the salsa.

Can I Make Fresh Peach Salsa In Advance?

This salsa may be made ahead the day before but is best served the same day. It will keep in the refrigerator for 2 days.

Tips

• Chop evenly – Pay careful attention to the size of your cuts. Evenly sized pieces help to create a balanced flavor and texture.
• Peaches – I prefer to use fresh peaches in this recipe but canned can be substituted if needed.
• Make ahead – This salsa may be made ahead the day before but is best served the same day.

My Preferred Tools

You may already have many of these items in your kitchen. I recommend the following for this recipe:

• Cutting Board – to chop ingredients
• Knife Set – to chop ingredients
