Make this fresh, chunky fruit salsa combining sweet peaches and cherries with a kick of jalapeño and bright lime.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh peaches, diced
  • 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
  • 1/2 red onion, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare all fruit: dice the peaches, pit and halve the cherries. Place them in a medium bowl.
  2. Add the diced red onion, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro to the bowl with the fruit.
  3. Zest the lime directly over the mixture, then squeeze in the fresh lime juice.
  4. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  5. Gently stir all ingredients together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the salsa chunky.
  6. Taste the salsa and adjust salt or lime juice as needed for your preference.
  7. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For a slightly smoky flavor, grill the peaches briefly before dicing them.
  • Serve this salsa with tortilla chips, or use it as a topping for grilled fish or chicken.
  • If you prefer less heat, remove all seeds and white pith from the jalapeño.
  • This salsa tastes best when made the same day you plan to serve it.
