Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 medium ripe but still slightly firm peaches, diced
- 1 ripe but still slightly firm large avocado, diced
- 1 large ear corn, kernels cut off (about 3/4 cup or 180 milliliters corn)
Aromatics and Flavor Enhancers:
- 3 tablespoons finely diced red onion
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
- 2 tablespoons finely diced cilantro
Seasoning:
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Carefully select ripe yet firm peaches and avocados, preparing them with precision by creating uniform, small cubic cuts.
- Extract corn kernels from the cob using a sharp knife, catching each kernel cleanly without losing any precious bits.
- Transform red onion and jalapeño into delicate, miniature pieces, maintaining consistent size for balanced flavor distribution.
- Deconstruct fresh cilantro leaves into fine, fragrant fragments that will enhance the salsa’s aromatic profile.
- Merge all prepared ingredients into a spacious mixing vessel, allowing each component to interplay and create a harmonious blend.
- Liberate the vibrant citrus essence from a fresh lime, cascading its tangy juice across the assembled ingredients.
- Introduce salt and cracked black pepper, calibrating the seasoning to elevate and accentuate the natural flavors of the salsa.
- Execute a gentle, circular folding motion to integrate the ingredients without crushing the delicate textures of peaches and avocados.
- Present the salsa immediately for optimal freshness, or allow it to rest briefly in the refrigerator, permitting flavors to meld and intensify before serving.
Notes
- Ensure avocados and peaches are perfectly ripe but still firm to maintain ideal texture and prevent mushiness.
- Remove seeds from jalapeño for milder heat, or keep them for extra spiciness depending on personal preference.
- Chop ingredients uniformly to create balanced flavor and visual appeal in every bite.
- Serve immediately after preparation to preserve fresh, crisp texture of ingredients and prevent avocado from browning.
