Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium fresh peaches, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 large jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 large lime
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave nectar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Peel the peaches and mango. For peaches, score a shallow ‘X’ at the bottom, blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water to ease peeling. Dice both fruits into roughly 1/2-inch pieces.
  2. Remove seeds from the jalapeño if milder heat is desired, then finely chop. Finely dice the red onion.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey or agave nectar, salt, and olive oil to make the dressing.
  4. In a mixing bowl, gently toss peaches, mango, jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro. Pour the dressing over and stir gently to coat all pieces evenly.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if needed. Let the salsa sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld, or refrigerate if preferred chilled.
  6. Add fresh cilantro just before serving for the brightest flavor.

Notes

Peeling the peaches and mango prevents bitter or tough textures. Leaving some jalapeño seeds increases heat; remove seeds for milder salsa. Letting the salsa rest for 10-15 minutes softens the onions and melds flavors. For a smoother texture, pulse mango in a blender before mixing. Add fresh cilantro just before serving. Store leftovers refrigerated up to 3 days; flavors deepen but salsa becomes more liquidy.
