Picture this: you are on the back patio, there are patio lights strung up overhead, your dog is running around chasing his ball, your husband is grilling, and you are relaxing with some chips and fresh peach salsa. That sounds like the perfect summer evening to me! You do have to have a dog and a husband willing to grill for you, but there is one thing in that scenario you can definitely control which is making this fresh peach salsa.
Peaches are one of my favorite fruits. I can remember rubbing the fuzzy skin of a peach on my face as a kid and then subsequently crying because for some reason it felt like a million tiny peach fuzz needles were in my face. BUT besides that, peaches are such an amazing ingredient in the kitchen. I love to turn a fruit into a savory recipe, just like with My Favorite Mango Salsa. This is such an easy salsa to make and it is super verstatile. It is great on it’s own with tortilla chips, but my favorite way to use it is on my Balsamic Marinated Chicken. Definitely give that recipe a try if you haven’t already!

Why You Should Make Fresh Peach Salsa
Here’s what you’ll need:
Fresh Peach Salsa Tips
- Make this a few hours ahead of serving so it has time to get cold and let the flavors mingle.
- Make sure you use ripe peaches! This salsa is only as good as the quality of peaches you use.
How To Make Fresh Peach Salsa
- Peaches. First we need to prep the peaches. You can leave the skin on or peel them. I chose to peel mine! Peel your peaches and dice them so they will be easily scoopable on a chip. Place the diced peaches into a large bowl.
- Jalapeño and Red Onion. Dice the jalapeño and red onion and place in the bowl. Chop the cilantro.
- Lime. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the peach/red onion/jalapeño and stir.
- Salt. Sprinkle over a little bit of salt and add in the chopped cilantro. Taste and add more salt as needed, remember we can always add salt but we can’t take it out! Place salsa in the fridge to chill for at least an hour before serving.
- Serve. Stir, serve, and enjoy!
