Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium ripe peaches, diced
- ½ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- Juice of 2 limes (about 3 tablespoons)
- ¼ cup finely diced red onion
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and dry peaches. Cut away from the pit and dice into roughly ½-inch pieces.
- Remove thicker stems from cilantro and finely chop leaves. Place in a mixing bowl.
- Finely chop red onion and mince jalapeño (seeded to reduce heat). Add to the bowl with cilantro.
- Mince garlic and add to the bowl.
- Squeeze juice of 2 limes over the mixture. Add salt, black pepper, and olive oil if using.
- Gently fold all ingredients together with a spoon or spatula, keeping peaches intact.
- Let salsa rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Adjust jalapeño seeds to control heat. Prepare up to 4 hours ahead and keep chilled. Avoid over-mixing to keep salsa chunky. Fresh lime juice is preferred over bottled.
