Ingredients Needed:

This is a quick overview of the ingredients you’ll need for this Peach Salsa Recipe. Specific measurements and full recipe instructions are in the printable recipe card below.

• fresh ripe peaches – make sure they are ripe, sweet, and juicy
• tomatoes – I usually use a mix of roma tomatoes and beef steak, whatever large tomatoes you can find
• red onion – adds a nice tangy flavor
• cilantro – a must for salsa
• jalapeno pepper
• minced garlic
• fresh lime juice – use fresh squeezed, not bottled. You can substitute for fresh lemon juice too.

• salt – adds a little flavor, and balances out the sweetness

How to make Peach Salsa?

1. Prepare all your ingredients by dicing them into small pieces. Add all the ingredients to a medium bowl and stir them all together. Taste the salsa, and add more salt, or sugar to taste. 

Tips and Tricks: 

• I like to dice everything up to be pretty small, but cut the peaches and tomatoes bigger if you like a chunkier salsa. You can add them to a food processor to get them to a smaller size as well.
• Use fresh peaches for this recipe. Do not substitute for frozen or canned peaches. You want to use juicy peaches that are ripe, and sweet.

Substitution Ideas:

• If you aren’t a fan of cilantro you can leave it out. Try adding fresh basil or mint for a different herbal twist.
• Instead of a teaspoon of sugar, add a little honey or agave nectar to sweeten the salsa.
• Try adding 1 cup of diced mango to make a peach mango salsa.
• This recipe is super customizable, if you want it less spicy add less jalapenos or a less spicy pepper. If you want more peaches, try that, try red bell pepper instead of red onion, etc.
