Print Recipe

A quick and easy fresh peach salsa combining sweet peaches, fiery jalapeño, and fragrant cilantro for a vibrant summer dip perfect for gatherings and snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe peaches, peeled and finely diced
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely minced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Pinch of freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the peaches: Score a small ‘X’ at the bottom of each peach, blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water to remove peels easily. Dice peaches into ¼-inch pieces.
  2. Prepare the jalapeño: Slice in half lengthwise, scrape out most seeds if less heat is desired, then finely mince.
  3. Chop the red onion and cilantro finely.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, gently toss diced peaches, jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro without mashing the peaches.
  5. Add fresh lime juice, honey (if using), salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Mix gently to combine.
  6. Let the salsa rest and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

Use organic peaches if possible for best flavor. Adjust jalapeño seeds to control heat. Hand chopping preserves texture better than blending. Chill salsa for at least 15 minutes to meld flavors. Can substitute honey with maple syrup for vegan option. Grilling peaches before dicing adds smoky depth.
