A quick and easy fresh peach salsa with a spicy jalapeño kick and a zesty cilantro-lime dressing, perfect for summer gatherings and versatile with chips, grilled meats, or tacos.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium fresh ripe peaches, peeled and finely diced (about 2 cups or 300 grams)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (adjust to heat preference)
  • 1/4 cup (40 grams) red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup (10 grams) fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 2 limes (about 3 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: diced cucumber for extra crunch and freshness

Instructions

  1. Peel the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water to slip off the skin easily. Finely dice the peaches into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Cut the jalapeño in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with a spoon unless more heat is desired. Mince finely.
  3. Finely dice the red onion to small pieces to add crunch without overpowering.
  4. Roughly chop the fresh cilantro leaves, ensuring they are fresh and vibrant.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  6. In a medium mixing bowl, gently toss the diced peaches, jalapeño, onion, and cilantro together.
  7. Pour the dressing over the mixture and stir carefully to coat everything evenly without bruising the fruit.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, lime juice, or honey as needed.
  9. Refrigerate the salsa for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

Remove most jalapeño seeds to control heat; use gloves to avoid skin irritation. Peel peaches by blanching for easy skin removal. Chill salsa for at least 15 minutes before serving to enhance flavor. Prepare dressing just before serving for best texture. Salsa keeps well refrigerated for up to 2 days but is best fresh.
