Ingredients
Scale
Fruits and Vegetables:
- 2 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
Liquids and Oils:
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Carefully dice ripe peaches and creamy avocados into uniform, bite-sized cubes to ensure balanced texture and visual appeal.
- Finely mince red onion, red bell pepper, and optional jalapeno pepper to distribute flavors evenly throughout the salsa.
- Chop fresh cilantro leaves, releasing their vibrant, aromatic essence into the mixture.
- Create a zesty dressing by whisking together tangy lime juice, smooth olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper, and a touch of honey for subtle sweetness.
- Gently fold the lime dressing into the fruit and vegetable mixture, ensuring delicate ingredients remain intact and well-coated.
- Taste and fine-tune seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed for a perfectly balanced flavor profile.
- For optimal taste development, refrigerate the salsa for 30 minutes, allowing ingredients to marinate and flavors to harmonize before serving.
- Serve chilled as a refreshing accompaniment to grilled meats, fish, or as a vibrant dip with tortilla chips.
Notes
- Prevent browning by adding lime juice to avocados immediately after cutting, which helps maintain their fresh green color and prevents oxidation.
- Customize heat levels by removing jalapeno seeds for mild salsa or adding extra peppers for a spicier version that matches your taste preference.
- Use ripe but firm peaches and avocados to ensure the perfect texture without turning mushy during mixing and chilling.
- Make this salsa more versatile by serving as a topping for grilled fish, tacos, or as a refreshing dip with tortilla chips for various meal options.
