Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium ripe peaches, peeled and diced
- 1 medium jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Wash and peel about 3 medium ripe peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transferring to ice water. Peel skins off and dice into roughly 1/2-inch cubes.
- Slice the jalapeño in half, remove seeds if less heat is desired, and finely dice the flesh.
- Finely chop 1/4 cup of red onion.
- In a mixing bowl, combine diced peaches, jalapeño, red onion, and 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro.
- Add juice from 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. If peaches are tart, add 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup. Stir gently to combine without mashing peaches.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let flavors meld and soften the jalapeño heat.
- Before serving, stir and taste. Adjust salt or lime juice as needed.
Notes
If salsa is too watery, drain some juice before serving. Keep peach chunks roughly 1/2-inch for best texture. Taste jalapeño before adding to adjust heat. Chilling salsa enhances flavor and mellows heat. Can substitute jalapeño with milder peppers or add smoky paprika for variation.
