Description
A vibrant, refreshing salsa that combines sweet peaches with spicy jalapeños for the perfect summer condiment.
Ingredients
- Fresh Peaches: The star of the salsa, offering natural sweetness and a juicy texture. Ensure they are ripe for optimal flavor.
- Jalapeños: Adds heat and spice. Adjust the amount to suit your preferred spice level—seeded jalapeños offer milder heat.
- Red Onion: Provides a crunchy texture and aromatic flavor, balancing the sweetness of the peaches.
- Cilantro: Fresh herbs enhance the salsa with a bright, herby flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients.
- Lime Juice: Adds acidity and brightness that elevates the overall flavor of the salsa.
- Salt: Enhances the flavors and ensures every bite is delicious.
Instructions
- Begin by dicing the fresh peaches. Remove the pits and cut them into small pieces, ensuring they are of uniform size for even mixing.
- Finely chop the jalapeños, red onion, and cilantro. Adjust the amount of jalapeño based on your spice preference and remove seeds if you prefer less heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the diced peaches, chopped jalapeños, red onion, and cilantro.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle with salt. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the ingredients are well-coated in lime juice.
- Let the salsa sit for about 10-15 minutes for the flavors to meld before serving. This also allows the salt to draw out some moisture from the peaches, creating a delicious syrup.
Notes
- Choose Ripe Peaches: The sweeter and juicier the peach, the better your salsa will taste! Look for peaches that yield slightly when gently pressed.
- Adjust Jalapeño Quantity: If you enjoy a spicier salsa, leave the seeds in the jalapeños, or add more to your mix. For a milder version, reduce the amount or use bell peppers.
- Let it Chill: Although not required, chilling peach salsa in the fridge lets the flavors develop even more, resulting in a refreshing and flavorful dish during hot days.
