How to Make the Best Peach Salsa
When summer peaches are at their peak, there’s no better way to showcase their natural sweetness than in this vibrant fresh peach salsa. The combination of juicy ripe peaches, crisp bell pepper, zesty lime, and just enough heat from the jalapeño creates a perfectly balanced salsa that’s both refreshing and addictive.
This versatile condiment goes far beyond the chip bowl. Spoon it over grilled salmon or chicken for an instant flavor upgrade, pile it into fish tacos, or use it to brighten up your favorite burrito bowl. The optional chipotle powder adds a subtle smoky undertone that pairs beautifully with the fruit’s natural sweetness.
The key to great peach salsa is using perfectly ripe peaches—they should give slightly when pressed but still hold their shape when diced. No need to peel them; the skins add a lovely texture and extra nutrients. Make this salsa when peaches are in season and you’ll understand why it’s a summer favorite.

Instructions
Making the Salsa
- Gently rub peaches with a terry cloth towel to help remove peach fuzz, then rinse under cold water.
- Dice peaches, tomato, onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, and cilantro and add to a medium bowl. Add lime juice, salt and pepper, then gently toss to combine.
- Adjust lime and salt to taste. Add optional chipotle powder, starting conservatively with ¼ teaspoon for a pleasantly smoky heat.
- Taste and adjust according to preferences. You want a delicious balance between sweet, salt, lime and heat.
- Serve with chips, in tacos, or over fish or grilled chicken. This peach salsa is also a nice addition to burrito bowls or as a bruschetta topping.
Notes
- Choose peaches that are ripe but still firm for the best texture.
- The salsa is best served fresh but will keep refrigerated for 1-2 days.
- For a milder version, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño.
- The chipotle powder adds a wonderful smoky depth—start with less and add more to taste.
