Description

This flavorful summer salsa is chock full of sweet and spicy flavors that will enhance grilled meats, or can be enjoyed with tortilla chips or crackers. Depending on your fruit, the salsa may be more or less sweet and tangy, so adjust amount of lime juice to your liking. If your fruit isn’t very flavorful or sweet, you may also want to add a teaspoon of sugar or honey to bring out the flavors.

Ingredients

4 Medium ripe but firm peaches (peeled) and/or nectarines, diced
1/2 Cup diced red onion
2 tsp minced Jalapeno pepper
2 Tbsp lime juice
1/2 Cup diced red bell pepper
2-3 Tblsp chopped cilantro
1 Tbsp Olive or avocado oil
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp Kosher or sea salt
freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes Optional, for added heat

Instructions

Mix all ingredients.
Let it sit either in the fridge or on the counter for an hour or so to let flavors blend.
Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking.

Notes

This is best when made an hour or two in advance, to allow flavors to blend a bit. Also, I prefer it at room temperature, so if chilled, I like to leave it out of the fridge for 30 minutes or so before serving.
