Scale
Peach Salsa Ingredients
- 3 medium fresh peaches, pitted and diced (about 1 ¼ pounds total)
- ½ cup finely chopped red onion
- ½ cup quartered multicolored cherry tomatoes
- ¼ cup packed chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- ½ small serrano chile, sliced into thin rings
- 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the diced peaches, finely chopped red onion, quartered cherry tomatoes, chopped cilantro leaves, sliced serrano chile, grated lime zest, fresh lime juice, kosher salt, and chili powder. This allows all flavor elements to come together in one place.
- Mix Gently: Stir the ingredients gently to ensure everything is evenly distributed without mashing the fruit, maintaining a fresh texture and balanced flavors.
- Rest and Meld Flavors: Let the salsa sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This resting time helps the ingredients release their juices and allows the flavors to blend beautifully.
- Serve Fresh: Enjoy the salsa fresh as a dip with tortilla chips, or use it as a flavorful topping for tacos, grilled fish, or salads, adding a bright and summery touch to your dishes.
Notes
- For a milder salsa, reduce or omit the serrano chile according to your heat preference.
- Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor and texture.
- Prepare the salsa just before serving to keep it fresh and vibrant.
- The salsa can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours, but note that peaches may release more juice and soften over time.
- Substitute lime juice with lemon juice if limes are unavailable, though lime is recommended for authentic flavor.
