Peach Pico de Gallo
This peach pico de gallo is one of my favorite summer salsas. It is sweet from the ripe peaches, tangy from the lime and has just the right kick from fresh jalapeño. I love it on tacos, scooped up with tortilla chips or spooned over grilled anything. It takes about 5 minutes and it is one of those things that makes every meal feel special.

Ingredients
- 2 ripe peaches diced
- 1 small red onion finely diced
- 1 jalapeño seeded and finely chopped
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Dice the peaches into small cubes. Leave the skin on for texture or peel them if you prefer a smoother salsa.
- Finely dice the red onion and jalapeño. Remove the seeds for less heat.
- In a medium bowl, combine the peaches, onion, jalapeño, lime juice, olive oil and cilantro.
- Season with salt and toss gently. Taste and adjust with more jalapeño for heat or more lime for tang.
- Serve immediately or let it rest for a few minutes for the flavors to come together.
Notes
To make it less spicy, cut the jalapeño in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and veins. You can wear gloves to protect your hands from the heat.
To reduce the spicy bite from onion, soak the diced onion in cold water for 10 to 15 minutes. Drain well before adding to the pico.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Best served within the first few hours for the freshest texture.
Add the salt right before serving. Salt draws moisture out of the fruit.
