Ingredients
Scale
Main Produce Ingredients:
- 3 large peaches, peeled and diced
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 small jalapeno, finely minced (seeds and pith removed)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
Seasoning Ingredients:
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Carefully remove the skin from ripe peaches using a sharp paring knife, creating clean, uniform diced pieces.
- Prepare the tomato by cutting into small, precise cubes that complement the peach texture.
- Slice the red onion into ultra-fine, delicate segments to distribute flavor evenly throughout the salsa.
- Carefully slice the jalapeno lengthwise, meticulously removing all seeds and inner membranes to control heat intensity.
- Gently chop fresh cilantro leaves, creating a vibrant green confetti that will enhance the salsa’s aromatic profile.
- Transfer all prepared ingredients into a spacious mixing bowl, ensuring an even distribution of colors and textures.
- Extract fresh lime juice directly over the mixture, allowing the citrus to brighten and unite the ingredients.
- Sprinkle sea salt and cracked black pepper, gently folding to integrate the seasonings without crushing the delicate components.
- Allow the salsa to rest for 10-15 minutes, enabling flavors to meld and intensify before serving or chilling.
Notes
- Ensure peaches are ripe but firm for the best texture and flavor in the salsa.
- Remove jalapeno seeds carefully to control the heat level, using gloves to protect your hands from spicy oils.
- For a milder version, substitute jalapeno with a gentler pepper like poblano or reduce the amount used.
- Chill the salsa for 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and intensify, creating a more complex taste profile.
