When you make this peach salsa recipe start by dicing your peaches. Place them in a bowl. Then mince the red onion and jalapeno pepper and add them to the bowl.

Tips For The Perfect Peach Salsa

  • This salsa is on the mild side as the seeds and ribs are removed from the jalapeno. If you prefer a spicy salsa, you can leave some of the ribs and seeds in the pepper.
  • You can use yellow or white peaches for your salsa, whichever one you prefer!
  • I love how versatile this this salsa is – serve it as a dip with chips, on grilled chicken breast or chicken tacos, or even in a Mexican salad.

Quick Tip

Make sure to cut your peaches into a fine dice so that you can easily scoop the salsa with a chip!

  1. Can you show how to modify this (and other recipes) for those of us that find cilantro tastes like soap?
    What is a good replacement for cilantro?

  2. Hello, this looks delicious and I am definitely going to make some. I was wondering if it can be frozen since I have a couple pounds of peaches and would love to make a large batch a head of time for our camp out family reunion?

    Just mixed up a double recipe of your peach salsa using over ripe peaches ~they’re sweeter~ using a shallot because I had it~ after finely chopping I let it set in cold water to get rid of the harsh taste~and I added Fruit Fresh to prevent browning. Now I have to wait to let the flavors meld!! Yours is the first peach salsa I’ve made that I didn’t trash immediately. Thanks from my tastebuds and tummy!! ~ Judy

  6. To me, there’s nothing that screams “summer” like the taste of peaches and this beautiful salsa looks like the perfect way to celebrate the season!

    Beautiful looking salsa! That salsa would be great on grilled chicken! Great idea to get inspiration from Cooking Light. I’m not generally into food magazines, but I like Cooking Light.

    Peaches are so awesome. They’re perfect for salsa, and I love making BBQ sauce with them as well. Nice and sweet, but not overly so.
