This jalapeno peach salsa is fresh, sweet, spicy, and perfect for summer cookouts, BBQs, picnics, and easy weeknight dinners. Serve it with chips, spoon it over grilled chicken, add it to tacos, or build a bowl with cilantro lime rice.
1-2jalapenosfinely diced, seeds removed for less heat
¼cupred onionfinely diced
¼cupfresh cilantrochopped
2teaspoonsminced garlic
1limejuiced and zested
½teaspoonsaltplus more to taste
⅛teaspoonblack pepperplus more to taste
Instructions
Add all the ingredients to a large bowl. Gently stir everything together until well combined, being careful not to mash the peaches.
Taste and adjust with more lime juice, salt, or jalapeno if needed. I like to let the salsa sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving so the flavors can come together.
Notes
Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture.
For mild salsa, remove the seeds and membrane from the jalapeno. For spicier salsa, leave in some jalapeno seeds or add a second jalapeno.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
