Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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 diced peaches, red onion, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, serrano chile, lime zest, lime juice, kosher salt, and chili powder. This creates the base flavor profile for the salsa.
- Mix Gently: Stir gently to mix all ingredients evenly, ensuring the fruit and spices are well incorporated without mashing the peaches.
- Allow Flavors to Meld: Let the salsa stand at room temperature for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to blend and the peaches to release their natural juices.
- Serve Fresh: Serve immediately fresh with tortilla chips, or use as a topping for tacos, grilled fish, or salads to add a bright, fruity kick to your meal.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and sweetness.
- If you prefer less heat, substitute the serrano chile with a milder variety or reduce the amount.
- This salsa is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day. Stir gently before serving.
- Adjust salt and lime juice to taste depending on your preference.
