Summertime calls for salsa! And what better way to brighten up your taste buds and salvage your quickly (over) ripening peaches than with a fresh and sweet peach salsa?! 

This versatile condiment is perfect for dipping tortilla chips or topping tacos, bowls, fish, chicken, and salads. It’s quick and easy to make, with just 15 minutes, 7 ingredients, and 1 bowl required! Let’s make salsa!

Cilantro, shallot, jalapeño, black pepper, limes, salt, peaches, and cucumber

How to Make Peach Salsa

This simple peach salsa combines sweet, juicy peaches with cucumbers for crunch, shallot or red onion for zing, and jalapeño for subtle heat. Cilantro adds a fresh, herby element, lime juice adds brightness, and salt and pepper bring it up a notch.

Those are the ingredients we used, but it’s a versatile recipe and you can easily make it your own!

  • Have mango around? Try half mango and half peach.
  • Not into cucumber? Try bell pepper, tomato, or more peach.
  • Want it spicier? Use a hotter pepper like serrano or habanero, but start with less!
  • Not a fan of cilantro? It’s still great without it.

Finely chop all the fruits, veggies, and herbs, then squeeze the lime, add the salt and pepper, stir it together, and you’ve got SALSA!

What To Serve With Peach Salsa

We love adding it to tacos, burrito bowls, fish, chicken, salads, or other recipes that could use a pop of flavor and freshness. It’s also delicious served with tortilla chips as a refreshing summer appetizer.

    I make this all the time in summer and love it with so many things! I have it from the cookbook, but I find it easy to just look it up online, too, so thank you for that.

    We made this and it was so delicious! I left it a little chunky – became almost a side salad. Now it’s a summer favorite!

      Hi Mason, it’s best when fresh because the cucumber will release liquid. But you can!

      Hi Camille, we would suggest simply omitting the cilantro and possibly using a green bell pepper in place of the jalapeño. Let us know what you think if you give it a try!

    Love the crunch of the cucumbers in the salsa—not a fan of bell peppers in my salsa, so this is a welcome textural alternative. Next I will try with cherries or plums💙

      Hi Pooja, frozen and defrosted might be okay, but the texture will be different.
