Not only this Fresh Peach Salsa is it yummy as an appetizer with chips, it's also really good as a topping for fish or pork; who would have thought?

The Mr. and I made a goal to purposefully use more seasonal fruits and veggies this year. We’ve been coming up with all kinds of ways to use up the peaches from mom’s tree.

We re-visited and updated the Peach apricot crumble recipe, you probably saw the lattice peach pie, and now this. Although there weren’t a ton of them, the peaches seemed extra big and super juicy this year. They were delicious in this salsa.

I like that peach salsa is a little less acidic than a regular tomato salsa. Not only is it delicious as an appetizer with tortilla chips, it’s also really good as a topping for fish or pork; who would have thought?

Ingredients for Peach Salsa

1 lb tomatoes, diced
1 bell pepper (4 oz), seeded and finely diced
2 jalapenos, seeded and finely diced
1 medium onion, finely diced
1 1/2 lbs peaches, diced
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
2 Tbsp lime juice
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper or to taste

Peach Salsa

How To Make Fresh Peach Salsa Recipe:

1. Chop tomatoes and transfer them to a large bowl (yep, thats the Vidalia Chop Wizard; it made this salsa so easy!).

2. Finely chop seeded bell pepper and jalapeños. Finely chop onion and transfer all your veggies to the bowl.

3. Dice the peaches. I liked the slightly larger dice for peaches to give them more of the center stage in this salsa. No need to peel them. You won’t notice the peels and the color is prettier with the peel on. Transfer peaches to your bowl.

Peach Salsa-5

4. Add 1/2 bunch Chopped cilantro, 2 Tbsp lime juice, 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Add more salt and pepper to taste if desired. Fold everything together until well mixed and enjoy with your favorite tortilla chips or serve with fish or pork.

    Super easy recipe! Very flavorful refreshing salsa with a kick. I added orange bell peppers, dab of vinegar and sprinkle of sugar for a bit more tanginess. Thank you again for the recipe !!!

      It should make about 4 cups of salsa, so 8 (1/2-cup) servings.

      We just at a batch of it tonight too! I haven’t tried canning it. I wonder if it needs a little more acidity to preserve it though. To be honest, my husband and I always wolf down an entire batch between the two of us in one sitting and we always want more! 😉

    This recipe sounds amazing!! I’m planning on making it this weekend for a BBQ. I have a friend who can’t have cilantro. Can I make it with flat leaf parsley instead? Thank you for your help!

      I think parsley would work or just omit it altogether.

    Awesome recipe! For some reason I wasn’t a big fan of fruit in salsa, but this recipe changed my mind. The only reason why I even tried the recipe was because your pictures of the salsa look so amazing. I’ve already made it several times and have served it at my husband’s birthday party paired with baked salmon. Everyone was raving about this salsa. This recipe is another keeper!;) Thanks Natasha!!

    I love fruit salsa! Just until recently, I’ve been making a ton of tropical fruit salsa, using mangoes, cantaloupes, pineapples, any other tropical fruit I could find. I can only imagine how well peaches would go in salsa. Peaches always remind me of mangoes in some ways.

      Oh I didn’t think of putting cantaloupes in, but I sure do love mango salsa. Mmm. I think I’m in love with salsa in general and fruit salsas are just the cherry on top 🙂

        Peach season now in SW Victoria, Australia. Am putting together this recipe with most of the ingredients from my garden. Will add an Avocado. I’ll freeze some chopped peaches in ziplock bags for next time I’m wanting to make this lovely recipe.
        Thanks for sharing.

    Love fruit salsas! This year I experimented a lot with salsas too – mango salsa, blueberry & strawberry salsa and even pineapple salsa past weekend. I don’t like “normal” salsa anymore.:)

      Did you mix those fruits or were they all individual salsas. Those sound really good! Which was your favorite fruit to use?

        All individual salsas. My favourite one was pineapple salsa with toasted coconut flakes.
