It’s easy to gather the ingredients needed to make this homemade salsa recipe.
INGREDIENTS
The ingredients for this recipe represent a pleasing mash-up of summertime favourites. We know you’ll have no problem sourcing them at your local grocery store or supermarket, but why stop there? Sometimes half the fun of preparing a new recipe is in the joy of making it. Head out for a stroll to a local farmers market and look for them there. We always say, the fresher the produce, the better the flavour.
Dice up the peaches into juicy little chunks.
FRESH PEACHES
In a perfect world, you’ll make this recipe for the first time using those glorious handpicked fresh, ripe peaches. For best results, rinse the peaches and dice or chop them up moments before you assemble. Sweet but tangy peaches work best, so look for varieties like EMPRESS, EL DORADO, RED HAVEN and GOLD DUST. Our friend Candace from Colorado is suggesting PALISADE peaches for everyone living on the west coast! My mouth is watering just thinking about these favourites, especially at the height of the peach season!
Chopping up all these veggies is the toughest part of the recipe.
VEGETABLES AND HERBS
We loved adding a pleasing blend of fresh vegetables with the diced peaches. The cucumbers, red onion and a clove of garlic give the salsa a nice level of crunch and colour, while the red bell pepper adds a bit of sweetness to counter the light heat from the jalapeño. The finishing touches to the salsa include a bit of salt and pepper, a squeeze of fresh lime juice plus some chopped cilantro. Don’t like cilantro? Try the salsa with fresh basil, amazing!
Don’t add the lime juice and seasoning until just before you toss.
TOSS
This recipe is a one-bowl wonder, like our tangy MANGO SALSA; our BEAN, CORN AND TOMATO SALAD; and our KALE, CARROT AND PARM salad. Please remember, for best results toss the salsa moments before you intend to enjoy. So, go ahead and place the fruit, veggies and herbs into a large bowl, but only add the salt, pepper and lime juice right before you toss. Doing so prevents the fruit and veggies from softening too quickly.
Look how refreshing and appetizing this is!
SERVE
As mentioned off the top, this FRESH PEACH SALSA goes with pretty much everything. We especially enjoy it with fresh fish like this BARBECUED SALMON or our delicious SEARED ARCTIC CHAR. Don’t be shy when you serve it, add a few heaping spoonfuls onto your plate when you go to enjoy, you won’t be sorry!
Our FRESH PEACH SALSA is a summer main game changer!
