Ingredients
Fruits and Vegetables
- 3 peaches (fresh, yellow, ripe – diced into 1/2 inch cubes)
- ¼ red onion (chopped)
- ½ red bell pepper (chopped)
- 2 roma tomatoes (chopped)
- 1 jalapeno (diced, remove the seeds for less spice)
- ½ cup cilantro (chopped)
Liquids and Seasonings
- ½ cup fresh lime juice (1-2 limes)
- Garlic salt and pepper to taste
- Sugar (sprinkle)
- Chili powder (optional sprinkle)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Rub peaches softly with a cloth to gently remove peach fuzz. Rinse under cool water and pat dry.
- Chop Ingredients: Dice the peaches, roma tomatoes, red onion, and red bell pepper into uniform pieces about ½ inch in size. Dice the jalapeño, removing seeds if you prefer a milder salsa. Chop the cilantro finely. Combine all these ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
- Add Lime and Seasonings: Pour fresh lime juice over the chopped ingredients. Season with garlic salt, pepper, and a light sprinkle of sugar to balance flavors. Toss gently to combine. If desired, add chili powder to increase spiciness and toss again.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample the salsa and adjust seasoning accordingly by adding more lime juice, salt, pepper, or sugar to achieve your preferred balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Removing jalapeño seeds will reduce the salsa’s spiciness.
- This salsa is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
- Perfect as a topping for grilled chicken, fish, or as a dip with tortilla chips.
- Add finely chopped red or green chili for extra heat if desired.
