Peach Salsa Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs. peaches, pitted and diced into ½-inch pieces
- 1-2 jalapenos, seeds removed and finely diced
- 1 cup red bell pepper, diced
- ½ cup red onion, diced
- 1 lime, juiced
- 3 Tbsp. cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp. mint, finely chopped
- ½ tsp. salt, or to taste
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Start by pitting and dicing the peaches into ½-inch pieces. Finely dice the jalapenos after removing the seeds, and dice the red bell pepper and red onion into similar-sized pieces to ensure even texture in the salsa.
- Mix the Salsa: In a large bowl, combine the diced peaches, jalapenos, red bell pepper, and red onion. Add the freshly squeezed lime juice, chopped cilantro, chopped mint, salt, and black pepper.
- Toss Well: Gently toss all the ingredients together until they are evenly mixed, ensuring the flavors meld perfectly.
- Serve or Store: Serve the peach salsa immediately over chicken, fish, or pork, or alongside tortilla chips as a flavorful dip. You can also store it in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Stir before serving if stored.
Notes
- Adjust the number of jalapenos according to your preferred spice level.
- Removing seeds from jalapenos reduces heat and bitterness.
- Fresh herbs like cilantro and mint add brightness but can be omitted or substituted depending on taste preferences.
- Best served fresh for optimal flavor and texture.
- Can be paired with various proteins or used as a flavorful topping for tacos and salads.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
