    In this new spin on the classic condiment, peaches replace tomatoes! The result is a healthy, colorful, and refreshing salsa. This kaleidoscope salsa is delicious paired with tortilla chips, poured over burritos and tacos, and even used to garnish avocado toast!

    How to Make Peach Salsa

    1. Combine fruits and veggies together in a bowl.
    2. Add seasonings.
    3. Let flavors blend before serving.

    Full directions for how to make Peach Salsa are in the printable recipe card below.

    Peach Salsa FAQs

    How can I select the best peaches?

    Select fresh peaches that are still firm, so their flesh will keep its shape when cubed. I prefer free-stone varieties, which have loose pits that release easily from the flesh, making them much simpler to slice.

    What is the best way to peel peaches?

    You can peel peaches easily by using a serrated vegetable peeler (available in cooking specialty shops) or by blanching them.

    To blanch them, bring a large pan of water to a boil. Use a paring knife to cut a small X through the skin at the base of each peach. Drop the peaches into the boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them into a bowl of iced water for 2 minutes. Peel the skin off starting at the base of the peach.

    Can I use frozen peaches?

    You can use frozen peaches in place of fresh—but nothing beats the flavor of local, seasonal peaches! If you use frozen peaches, just make sure to thaw them before using.

    Here are lots more recipes for salsas, chutneys, and relishes.
