I really love ripe summer peaches. I don’t bother buying them any other time of year, because they really don’t compare. Juicy, sweet peaches, ready to be eaten as a messy snack, baked into desserts or turned into a simple jam, so we can have a little summer when the snow flies.

I’m also a big fan of fruit salsas, and this Fresh and Easy Peach Salsa is no exception. It’s an excellent way to use up a few extra peaches, but in my opinion, it’s also worthy of some purchased peaches, just for the recipe.

With just a few ingredients, the sweet summer peach is transformed into a sweet, savory, bright tasting condiment that is delicious on tortilla chips, in fajitas or tacos, or on grilled meat or fish.

I haven’t tried it with the Sweet and Smoky Dry Rub Mix yet but I think they would be particularly tasty together. I love that it’s both healthy and delicious!

So if you have a few simple ingredients and 10 minutes to spare, why not give it a try?

I like this salsa best when it’s freshly made – all of the ingredients let out juice as they sit so it gets a little more watery. But hey – you might like that too!

Fresh and Easy Peach Salsa – Step-by-Step Instructions

Fresh and Easy Peach Salsa – Ingredients

Wash two peaches and chop them into bite-sized pieces.

Wash and seed a red pepper and dice into small pieces.

Mince about 1/4 of a red onion. You might use a little more or less depending on the size of your onion and how much you like onion. Start with a little less – you can always add more.

Wash and chop a small handful of cilantro.

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Add juice of 1/2 a lime. Stir it together and give it a taste. Limes can vary dramatically in how juicy they are. If it needs a little more zesty kick, add juice from the other half of the lime.

I love my handheld juicer (similar to this one) for quickly juicing lemons and limes.

Stir together and enjoy! 🙂
