Description
This fresh, no-cook sweet and spicy peach salsa balances juicy peaches, lime, and a jalapeño kick. It is ready in 15 minutes and perfect for chips, tacos, or grilled meats.
Ingredients
4 medium ripe peaches, diced (about 3 cups)
1 jalapeño, finely diced (seeds optional)
½ red bell pepper, finely diced
¼ cup red onion, finely diced
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1–2 limes
½ tsp salt, to taste
1–2 tsp honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
1. Wash, halve, and pit the peaches, then dice into small, even ¼-inch pieces. You can leave the skins on for color.
2. Finely dice the red bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeño.
3. Add the peaches, bell pepper, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro to a large bowl.
4. Squeeze in the lime juice, sprinkle with salt, and add the honey if using. Gently stir until glossy and combined.
5. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Taste and adjust with more salt, lime, or honey, then serve.
Notes
Drain any excess liquid before serving, or use a slotted spoon to keep it scoopable.
This fresh version is not safe for water-bath canning. Keep refrigerated and enjoy within 3 days.
For more heat, keep the jalapeño seeds or swap in a serrano. For a milder salsa, remove the seeds.
Ripe nectarines make an easy 1:1 swap for the peaches.
