- 1 ½ pounds peaches, peeled and diced
- 4 roma tomatoes, diced
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- ½ bunch cilantro, chopped
Other Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the diced peaches, diced roma tomatoes, finely diced jalapeño, finely diced yellow onion, and chopped cilantro into a large mixing bowl. Gently stir to blend the ingredients without mashing them, maintaining a chunky texture.
- Season Salsa: Squeeze fresh lime juice evenly over the mixture and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Stir gently again to distribute the seasoning evenly throughout the salsa.
- Chill to Blend Flavors: Cover the bowl tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This resting period allows the flavors to meld and develop, enhancing the overall taste of the salsa.
- Serve: After chilling, serve the salsa chilled with tortilla chips or as a flavorful topping for Mexican dishes, grilled chicken, or beef.
Notes
- For a spicier salsa, leave some seeds in the jalapeño or add an extra jalapeño.
- Peel peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds and then plunging them into ice water to remove skins easily.
- This salsa can be made a day ahead to deepen the flavors further.
- Store leftover salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
