The Best Recipe for Peach Salsa
I love this peach salsa recipe. It’s easy to make and very delicious. It differs from a traditional salsa which uses peaches instead of tomatoes for extra sweetness. You may use it on the classics such as tacos or as a dip but it’s also amazing served over chicken or pork! I’ve made this salsa for many parties and just to enjoy at home and it never lasts long.

What You’ll Need
Below are all the ingredients you’ll need for this recipe for peach salsa. None of them are very expensive or hard to find. Be sure the peaches are fresh and ripe when you use them.
- Georgia peaches: I love fresh ripe peaches for this recipe. You may use any variety of peaches that you like.
- Red bell pepper: The red pepper adds crunch and a bit of sweetness, helping to balance the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Red onion: I enjoy the sharp flavor of raw red onion, and I feel it pairs well with the peaches.
- Cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a great aroma and more color to the salsa. If you prefer, you may also use dried cilantro. Only use 2 tablespoons of the dried version.
- Lime: The acidity and tart flavor of lime juice enhance the flavors of this salsa and keep the produce fresh.
- Garlic: Fresh garlic cloves are sharp and pungent, and it’s great in this salsa. You may also use garlic powder in a pinch.
- Jalapeño: Mince the jalapeno so there are fewer big bites of spicy pepper in the salsa. To tame the heat, you may remove the seeds and membranes. Keep them if you want them spicier.
- Salt: A little bit of salt enhances and balances the flavors of this recipe.
How to Make Peach Salsa
Once you chop all of the produce, toss it in a bowl and stir it together, and the salsa is ready to eat! The instructions are simple, and it only takes 10 minutes to prepare.
- Prepare the ingredients. Peel, chop, and juice all of the ingredients before you move on. This is the bulk of the prep work.
- Toss together. Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and gently toss until well combined.
- Serve or chill. Enjoy immediately as an appetizer with tortilla chips, or on top of a taco salad or burritos, or add it to a jar and place it in the fridge until you are ready to eat it.
Proper Storage
Store leftovers of this fresh peach salsa in an airtight container for up to 3 days. I do not recommend freezing this recipe, as the produce becomes watery and mushy when it thaws.
