Equipment

  • Large glass or non-reactive bowl
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Plastic wrap (for chilling)

Ingredients
  

  • 6 fresh peaches pitted and diced
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 medium shallot minced
  • 3 tablespoons red onion thinly sliced
  • 1-2 teaspoons jalapeno pepper finely minced (seeds and veins removed)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Combine Ingredients:
    In a large glass or non-reactive bowl, mix the peaches, lime juice, shallot, red onion, jalapeno, and cilantro.
  • Adjust Spiciness:
    Start with 1 teaspoon of jalapeno and add more if you want extra heat.
  • Season:
    Add sea salt and black pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
  • Chill:
    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld. If short on time, let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
  • Serve:
    Pair this salsa with grilled chicken, fish, pork, tacos, or tortilla chips for a versatile, flavorful side.

Notes

  • Soaking red onions in water for 10-15 minutes before adding them to the salsa will mellow their flavor if desired.
  • Fresh peaches work best, but if needed, drained canned peaches can be substituted.
  • The salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
