Equipment

  • Chef's knife
  • Cutting board
  • Mixing bowl Large
  • Citrus juicer
  • Measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ripe peaches large, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes quartereed, or 2 Roma tomatoes diced
  • 1/2 cup red onion finely diced
  • 1 jalapeno seeded and finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/3 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey optional, for peaches that are on the tart side

Instructions
 

  • Rinse and dry the peaches. Cut each in half, remove the pit, and dice into 1/4-inch pieces. Add to a large mixing bowl. Leave the skin on for color and texture, or peel if desired.
  • Quarter the cherry tomatoes and finely dice the red onion. Slice the jalapeno in half, remove seeds and membrane, then dice finely. Add all to the bowl with the peaches.
  • Mince the garlic finely and roughly chop the cilantro, including tender stems. Add both to the bowl.
  • Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Add the optional honey if your peaches are tart.
  • Gently fold everything together until evenly combined. Taste and adjust salt, lime juice, or jalapeno to your preference. Let rest for at least 15 minutes for flavors to mingle.
  • Stir gently before serving as some liquid may pool at the bottom. Serve with tortilla chips or spoon over grilled chicken, fish, or tacos.

Notes

  • Use peaches that give slightly when pressed for the best sweetness and juiciness. Underripe peaches will lack flavor.
  • Dice all ingredients to a similar size so each spoonful has a balanced combination of flavors.
  • Taste as you go since peach sweetness varies. Adjust lime, salt, or honey accordingly.
  • For more heat, leave some jalapeno seeds in or add a second pepper. For a milder salsa, remove all seeds and membranes.
  • Swap serrano pepper for jalapeno if you prefer extra heat.
  • Add diced mango or pineapple for a tropical twist.
  • Stir in diced avocado just before serving for a creamier texture.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before serving leftovers as liquid will settle.
  • This salsa does not freeze well since the fruits become watery and mushy upon thawing.
  • For a smokier flavor, substitute a pinch of chipotle chili powder for some of the black pepper.
