Ingredients
Scale
Fresh 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
Seasonings and Flavorings
- 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, combine the diced peaches, finely chopped red onion, quartered cherry tomatoes, packed chopped cilantro leaves, thinly sliced serrano chile, grated lime zest, fresh lime juice, kosher salt, and chili powder.
- Mix Gently: Stir all the ingredients gently to ensure they are evenly mixed without bruising the peaches or tomatoes.
- Let Salsa Rest: Allow the salsa to stand at room temperature for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This resting period helps the flavors meld together and lets the fruit release its natural juices for a more cohesive and vibrant taste.
- Serve Fresh: Serve the peach salsa fresh with tortilla chips for dipping. It also makes a delicious topping for tacos, grilled fish, or salads.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches to maintain texture and prevent the salsa from becoming mushy.
- Adjust the amount of serrano chile to control the heat level according to your preference.
- This salsa is best served fresh but can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
- Substitute serrano chile with jalapeño if a milder spice is desired.
- For a sweeter salsa, add a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup.
