    Cherry Tomato and Peach Salsa

    Published: Jul 13, 2017 · Updated: Mar 4, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    I love salsa of all kinds, and there are quite a lot of good ones on the market. But when midsummer rolls around, there’s nothing like a fresh homemade salsa using summer tomatoes. Homemade salsa tends to get watery from the tomatoes’ juices, but I discovered that using cherry (or grape) tomatoes helps mitigate that. And there’s no pre-chopping — just toss them into the food processor whole. Adding a ripe peach gives the salsa a perfect sweet twist.

    red and yellow cherry tomatoes

    Makes: about 1 ½ cups

    • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes (try using both red and yellow)
    • 1 medium sweet peach (or nectarine), pitted and diced
    • 2 scallions, sliced
    • 1 to 2 fresh hot chili peppers, seeded and coarsely chopped
      (jalapeño or serrano for heat; poblano for a milder flavor)
    • ¼ to ½ cup cilantro leaves
    • Juice of ½ to 1 lime, to taste
    • Pinch of salt

    Place the tomatoes in the bowl of a food processor and pulse on and off until coarsely chopped.

    Add the remaining ingredients and pulse on and off a few times. This is nice with a lot of texture, but if you’d like it smoother, process as you’d like, but don’t liquify!

    Serve at once with chips or as an accompaniment to Southwestern-style meals.
