What is avocado peach salsa made of?
This salsa is made with just a handful of fresh ingredients and takes only minutes to assemble. It’s an ideal recipe when peaches are in season.
You’ll need ripe peaches, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and fresh lime juice. Dice the peaches and avocado, finely chop the red onion and jalapeño (remove seeds if you prefer less heat), and toss everything with cilantro and lime for a bright, balanced salsa.
How long does avocado peach salsa last in the fridge?
For best texture and color, serve this salsa the day it’s made. Stored in an airtight container, it keeps well for 3–4 days in the refrigerator. Over time it may release some liquid as the fruit softens, but the flavors remain pleasant.
If possible, refrigerate the salsa for about an hour before serving. This short chill helps the flavors meld and improves the overall taste, though it’s still tasty if served immediately.
What is the best way to peel peaches for salsa?
The cleanest way to remove peach skins is to blanch them briefly. Score a small “X” on the bottom of each peach, plunge them into boiling water for 30–45 seconds, then transfer to an ice bath. The skins should slip off easily without losing much flesh.
If you’re only working with a couple of peaches and want to skip the blanching, you can peel them with a paring knife like an apple. It’s a bit messier and may remove a bit more flesh, but it’s fast and works fine for small batches.
Either method works—choose blanching for cleaner results, or a paring knife for speed when making just a small amount.
How to make Avocado Peach Salsa:
- Seed the jalapeño if you prefer milder heat. About half a pepper is typical, but adjust to taste depending on pepper size and your spice preference.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best brightness—one lime yields roughly 2 tablespoons of juice.
- This salsa is excellent with tortilla chips on its own, or served alongside grilled meats and seafood as a fresh, fruity condiment.
