Luscious, juicy and tantalizing Peach Salsa is a perfect summer condiment. Fresh peaches, jalapeno and herbs together make a spicy, salty, mildly sweet salsa that goes perfect with chips or as a topping on your favorite taco.
I often blend my famous peach smoothie and it’s so good. Recently, I made air fryer peaches for a quick dessert and it was an instant hit.
Its my daughter’s favorite fruit and she loves salsa dips in general. So, I had to make this recipe and I guarantee it’s the best peach salsa ever.
Health benefits of peaches
It’s a heart healthy fruit that helps improve digestion because it contains both soluble and insoluble fiber. Along with boosting immunity and decreasing inflammation this fruit promotes healthy eyes and improved skin.
How to buy the right peaches
I prefer peaches with yellow flesh from inside because of it nice and flavorful taste. It is important to buy the right peaches for this recipe so make sure its ripe but not mushy. Its skin should be free of any bruises and if you try to squeeze it you might feel the softness but should not dig in.

Simple 8 ingredients to make the best homemade fresh peach salsa recipe. It’s a crowd pleaser and so healthy as well.
Ingredients notes:
Peaches – fresh peaches work best here but make sure to buy the right one.
Jalapeno – when you chop jalapeno pepper include its seeds too in order to add a little spice to your salsa recipe.
Red bell peppers – this adds a bit of sweet and tart flavor since it’s a no tomato salsa.
Onion – I specially used red onion here so it’s an important ingredient to make it perfect.
Cilantro – this is a must and adds so much aroma to it.
Lemon juice – I would highly recommend adding freshly squeezed lemon juice for this recipe.

How to make Peach Salsa
Firstly, in a food processor, I combined roughly chopped peaches.
Secondly, I crushed it into very fine bit pieces. You may pulse if needed depending on your food processor.
Next, I spooned it out in a bowl and tossed in rest of the ingredients.
Lastly, I folded in lemon juice to it.
Then, I just mixed it well and immediately enjoyed it as a fruit salad. It was heavenly.
My family loved it as dip with chips.
How to serve this delicious peach salsa recipe
I personally just enjoy with a big spoon but it pairs excellent with tortilla chips. You may serve as a topping over Mexican quinoa salad. It pairs well as dip for baked taquitos also.
Expert tips:
- Make sure to crush or pulse peaches and not blend it. It is important to have crunchy bites.
- Before squeezing in lemon roughly toss all the ingredients with a spatula so that the flavors blend really well.
It tastes best when served immediately. If you have leftovers then refrigerate in air tight glass container for about 3-4 days.
Basically, it is a fruit dip with sweet, salty, tangy and spicy taste to it which resembles to the original salsa in many ways.
I did not try freezing it because its so easy to make and mostly I never have leftovers to freeze. I would recommend serving it fresh for the best taste experience.
