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.

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.

    Realizing that tomatoes and peaches come in different sizes, I am still wondering approx how many – say medium sized – tomatoes and peaches would be one lb?

      Hi Dawn, the photo beneath the list of ingredients will be a good visual guide for what goes into the recipe. The tomatoes photographed there are the same as roma tomatoes.

    Way too bland; kick up the heat with 3-4 jalapeños.

    Thank you Natasha! This is a wonderful recipe. Made this salsa today. We absolutely LOVED it. I tasted it as per the instructions, with no changes, and it was yummy. However, I sprinkled a pinch of chili powder on some that I had dipped onto a tortilla chip. I must say, it took your recipe to a different level for us. So, the only addition I added was 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder. Thank you again for your original recipe! Regardless of my addition, it is a WINNER for sure!!

      Hi Trish, I honestly haven’t tried canning this recipe so I’m not sure if it has enough acidity to preserve well.
      Maybe someone else has tried?? if so, please share your results with us (thanks in advance!) 🙂

        I may just try a few jars this weekend as I’m getting a 1/2 bushel of fresh Utah peaches. Will probably increase the acid using lime juice and offset the tart by using honey. I’ll let you know how it turns out

        I think it would need another couple tablespoons of lime juice or vinegar to be safe.

    This all looks so good and we have lots of fresh peaches. I have an aversion to the taste of cilantro. Any recommendations for a substitute? Can I leave out the jalapeño?

    Made your peach salsa using a Vidalia Chop Wizard.

    The recipe is terrific.

    However, liquid accumulated in the mixing bowl, although I added no liquid to the recipe.

    Any thoughts about this?

      Hi Dennis! The only thing I can think of maybe the juices of the fruits running out after using the chop wizard? The Chop wizard crushes the fruit some what besides cutting it of course so that squeeze could’ve provided those extra juices. We also add lime juice to this recipe. Did the water appear instantly or after sitting there?

    Absolutely delicious! We made the recipe exactly as written and enjoyed every bite. It was a little too spicy for the kids but the amount of jalapeño can easily be changed!! The adults gobbled it up. 😃

    Great recipe! I made this at least 3 times during the last month, and came home with an empty bowl every time!! My friends have requested I make this every time I come to their house from now on!! I also used orange bell peppers, because my kids don’t like bell peppers, so orange is very easy to hide. Also used heirloom tomatoes for the same reason. This is now our new family favorite, bell peppers and all.
