Fresh Peach Salsa Recipe
This easy peach salsa recipe is evidence that fruit AND vegetables can live happily ever after in one bowl. The proof…it disappears almost as fast as you serve it!

What goes in a peach salsa?
This salsa recipe is made with fresh peaches, tomato, onion, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, lime juice, and a little salt. It’s like a classic Mexican salsa with juicy, scrumptious, healthy peaches added to it!
You may wonder if you can substitute garlic powder for fresh garlic or dried cilantro for fresh cilantro in this recipe. I recommend using only fresh ingredients in this salsa for maximum flavor and texture.
How is peach salsa made?
Fresh peach salsa is a fruit salsa that’s made like pico de gallo, therefore not pureed.
The peaches and tomatoes are diced into roughly 1/2“ pieces, and the remaining ingredients are more finely chopped.
Ingredients are tossed together in a bowl and chilled until ready to serve. This is why it can also be called salsa Fresca (fresh salsa) because it’s never cooked.
How to serve peach salsa
As a salsa with tortilla chips, as a Mexican side dish, or spooned over these Grilled Chicken Tacos.

Tips to select and prepare peaches for salsa
Tip 1: Select peaches that aren’t too ripe. Gently press your finger into the surface of peaches to gage firmness. If they indent too easily, they’re too ripe to stay pretty in salsa, so look for slightly firmer, ripened peaches,
Tip 2: Rinse the surface of peaches under cool water and allow to dry.
Tip 3: Slice peaches in half, remove the pits, and continue dicing the flesh into 1/2“ chunks. No need to peel the peaches, unless you prefer to do so.
What I love about this salsa recipe:
- The ingredients are SUPER fresh with NO packaging = LESS SODIUM and NO ADDED SUGAR.
- This salsa tastes less acidic than traditional tomato pico de gallo because of the added fruit.
- Accommodates vegan, gluten-free, paleo, Whole 30, and keto diets.
- Eat as a salsa appetizer or serve as a condiment for entrees.
- It’s so easy to make and literally tastes like warm weather.
- You save money by skipping prepackaged salsas (and boost the quality).
