Print Recipe

A quick and easy fresh peach salsa that balances the sweetness of ripe peaches with the heat of jalapeño, enhanced by fresh cilantro and lime juice. Perfect for summer gatherings and a healthy homemade dip.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium fresh peaches, ripe but firm, diced
  • 1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • A few grinds of black pepper (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry peaches thoroughly. Cut in half, remove pits, and dice into about 1/4-inch pieces.
  2. Slice jalapeño in half lengthwise, remove seeds if less heat is desired, then finely dice. Wash hands after handling.
  3. Peel and finely dice the red onion, keeping pieces similar in size to peaches.
  4. Rinse cilantro, pat dry, and chop leaves and tender stems finely (about 1/4 cup).
  5. In a medium bowl, combine diced peaches, jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro. Add lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and gently toss to combine without mashing peaches.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with extra lime juice, jalapeño, or salt as needed.
  7. Cover and chill salsa in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushy salsa. Adjust jalapeño seeds to control heat. Let salsa rest chilled for at least 15 minutes for best flavor. Optionally add diced tomato or honey for variation. Wash hands after handling jalapeño to avoid irritation.
