Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe peaches, diced
- 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients: 2 ripe peaches, 1/2 cup of finely chopped red onion, 1/2 cup of diced bell pepper, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro, and salt to taste.
- Wash the peaches thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or pesticides. Once clean, slice the peaches in half and remove the pits. Dice the peach flesh into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Next, take the red onion and peel off the outer skin. Finely chop the onion into small pieces, ensuring they are uniform in size for even distribution in the salsa.
- For the bell pepper, wash it under running water. Cut off the top and bottom, remove the seeds and white pith inside. Dice the bell pepper into small pieces, similar in size to the peaches and onion.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the diced peaches, chopped red onion, and diced bell pepper. Use a spatula or spoon to gently mix the ingredients together.
- Add 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice to the bowl. This will enhance the flavors and help to balance the sweetness of the peaches.
- Chop the cilantro finely and add it to the mixture. Stir everything together until well combined, ensuring the lime juice coats all the ingredients.
- Season the salsa with salt to taste. Start with a small pinch, mix, and then adjust according to your preference.
- Let the salsa sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This can be done while you prepare any additional dishes or snacks to serve with the salsa.
- Serve the Peach Onion and Bell Pepper Salsa fresh, either as a topping for grilled meats, fish, or as a dip with tortilla chips. Enjoy your vibrant and flavorful salsa!
Tips
- • Choose ripe, fragrant peaches for the best flavor—they should yield slightly when gently pressed • Dice all ingredients into uniform, small pieces to ensure balanced flavor in every spoonful • Let the salsa rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together • For extra heat, consider adding a finely diced jalapeño pepper • Use fresh lime juice instead of bottled for a brighter, more authentic taste • This salsa is best consumed within 24 hours for maximum freshness and crispness
