I know what you're thinking. Peach salsa just sounds weird. But, just hang with me. It truly is one of my all time favorite salsas to make. The flavors come together and create something that is just magical.
Not only is the taste out of this world, it could not be easier to throw together. Minimal ingredients and very little effort result in something you will make again and again. I promise. I don't joke about salsa. Ever.
Tips and Tricks
- I suggest letting it sit for at least an hour in the fridge to let the flavors marry. Even an hour will do this lovely salsa good. Give it the time. It's worth it.
- A peach has a pit. The pit contains cyanide. Do not eat the pit. Please.
- For easy peach pit removal, simply insert a pair of needle-nose pliers into the middle of the peach, grabbing the pit. Squeeze the pliers and twist. The pit should easily come loose from the flesh. Now, just pull it out.
- For a spicier salsa, leave the seeds and membrane in the peppers. You can also use Serranos or Habaneros.
Serving Ideas
This peach salsa is amazing. Taste and texture and color come together to create something that is truly wonderful. But, let's not forget to mention that this stuff compliments so many dishes. It's great with everything from pork to shrimp. I can even be found eating it by the spoonful straight out of my fridge. Sorry, not sorry.
Make this salsa today and serve with any or all of the following:
- Spooned on sliced Pork Tenderloin.
- As a topping for grilled pork chops.
- Perfectly accompanies grilled shrimp.
- On top of grilled scallops.
- Amazing on all manners of fish. Spooned over roasted salmon is chef's kiss!
- So good with roasted chicken!
- Simply served with your chip of choice.
- Spooned over a block of cream cheese for a lovely dip. It's a quick and easy appetizer that everyone will love!
The sky is the limit and the world is your...peach!
Variations and Substitutions
- Use red onion instead of shallot if you prefer. Green onions would also be great!
- Substitute mango, pineapple, and even tomatoes for the peach if needed. All of them are fantastic!
- If you don't like cilantro, leave it out!
- Adjust the spice levels per your taste. Add more if you prefer it hotter.
- Serranos are also a fantastic pepper to use, but pack a bigger punch when it comes to heat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen or canned peaches for this recipe?
You absolutely can. If peaches are not in season, use what you can find. I would, however, advise that you use a peach product that does not have added sugar. That will make this salsa recipe a bit too sweet.
Is this recipe gluten and/or dairy-free?
Yes and yes! No need to worry about those dietary concerns with this recipe.
