A fresh and healthy peach salsa with a zesty kick, perfect for summer snacking and easy to prepare with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium fresh peaches, peeled and diced
  • ½ medium red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (keep seeds for more heat)
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 large lime (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and peel 3 ripe but firm peaches. Dice into roughly ½-inch pieces (about 10 oz). Place in a mixing bowl.
  2. Finely dice ½ medium red onion (about 2.5 oz) and seed plus finely mince 1 small jalapeño pepper. Add to the bowl with peaches.
  3. Roughly chop about ¼ cup packed fresh cilantro leaves (about 15 grams). Mince 1 garlic clove finely. Toss both into the bowl.
  4. Juice 1 large lime (about 2 tablespoons or 30 ml) using a citrus juicer to avoid seeds. Pour the juice over the fruit and veggies.
  5. Add ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup if using.
  6. Gently fold all ingredients together with a spoon or spatula, being careful not to mash the peaches.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salsa for at least 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld. 10 minutes is acceptable if short on time.
  8. Before serving, taste and adjust salt or lime juice if needed. Add more peach chunks to mellow heat if too spicy.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Adjust jalapeño seeds to control heat. Let salsa rest refrigerated for best flavor melding. Can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored refrigerated. Avoid freezing to maintain texture. Substitute parsley if allergic to cilantro. Grilled peaches add smoky depth.
