Print Recipe

A fresh and vibrant salsa combining sweet peaches, spicy jalapeños, and fresh cilantro, perfect as a taco topping or dip.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • 1–2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely chopped
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • ¼ cup finely diced red onion
  • Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water to loosen the skins. Dice into roughly ½-inch cubes.
  2. Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise, remove seeds if desired for less heat, then mince finely.
  3. Finely chop about ¼ cup of red onion.
  4. Rinse and dry ½ cup of fresh cilantro leaves, then roughly chop.
  5. If using, finely mince 1 small clove of garlic.
  6. In a mixing bowl, gently toss peaches, jalapeño, onion, cilantro, and garlic. Add lime juice, olive oil if using, and salt. Mix carefully to keep peach chunks intact.
  7. Let the salsa rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Adjust salt or lime juice if needed before serving.

Notes

For milder salsa, remove jalapeño seeds or substitute with poblano pepper. Letting salsa rest enhances flavor. Avoid over-mixing to keep peach chunks intact. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving for best taste. Wash hands after handling jalapeños to avoid irritation.
