Peach Salsa

Combine fresh peaches, ripe plum tomatoes, and fresh herbs to create the ultimate peach salsa recipe from scratch. Perfect to dip with a chip, top on fish, or even spread on a taco!

Peach season is nearing the end and what better way to commemorate the season than to make a delicious fresh and homemade peach salsa. I’ve made mango salsa and watermelon salsa a few times, so it was only a no brainer to make a peach variation. While dreaming up ideas for dinner a few years ago, I decided to make a big batch of peach salsa verse my homemade salsa recipe that I make on a weekly basis.

If dinner isn’t close to being ready by the time my husband gets home from work we typically have what we call an appetizer and indulge in some chips and dip. If my husband had his way he would eat greasy potato chips with fattening french onion dip. But me, being the good and health conscious wife I am always try to have healthy options on hand. Hence why I pretty much always have fresh salsa in the fridge! It’s light enough to not ruin dinner yet filling enough to keep us content.

Ingredients

• Cilantro – Fresh is always best for this recipe.
• Lime – If you don’t have fresh lime on hand you can use lime concentrate.
• Red bell Pepper – You can use orange or even yellow for this recipe if you don’t have red bell pepper on hand.
• Red Onion – I like red onion because its less pungent and sweeter then traditional white onion. But if for some reason you don’t have red you can use white.
• Garlic Powder – A little garlic powder is all you need.
• Cumin – I love the flavors of cumin.
• Chili Powder – This is what I use for all my salsa recipes.
• Brown Sugar – I like to add a little brown sugar to bring out the sweetness of the peaches.
• Peaches – Fresh ripe peaches are all I ever use for this recipe. I’ve never used frozen peaches for this recipe before.
• Plum Tomatoes – I like to use firm plum tomatoes when making salsa. Over time the tomatoes will soften and break down.

Directions

In a food processor combine, fresh cilantro, lime juice, red bell pepper and red onion. Pulse for 15 seconds.

This is what it should look like after being processed.

Then add in the garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, brown sugar, peeled and halved peaches, and quartered plum tomatoes. Pulse for 5-10 seconds until diced up.

Serve the peach tomato salsa immediately or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 4-6 days.

Tips & Tricks

Here are a few of my favorite tips and tricks I’ve found helpful when making this peach salsa recipe.

• Prep – Prep all the veggies ahead of time to make this a quick recipe.
• Chill – I like to chill this salsa before serving. But if your veggies are cold, you will get the same immediate effect.
• No need to peel – I don’t find that you need to peel the peaches for this recipe. But if you prefer to take the extra step you can.

Peach Recipes

This peach salsa recipe would also compliment a grilled pork tenderloin or chicken breast. My favorite way is peach salsa for fish. Always an easy way to spice of fish. Another great idea is a fresh summer spinach salad, and use a few spoonful of peach salsa instead of dressing. Or of course you can scoop up the peach salsa with crispy tortilla chips! Peach salsa is perfect for munching on poolside, too!
