Peach, Tomato, and Sweet Onion Salsa Recipe
By
Aida Mollenkamp
This fruit salsa adds a bright accent to anything it tops; we especially like it on our Buttermilk Chicken. Just make sure to buy peaches and tomatoes at the peak of their ripeness, as they define the salsa’s flavor.
INGREDIENTS
- 3 medium peaches, small dice (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 2 medium tomatoes, small dice (about 1 cup)
- 1/2 medium sweet onion, such as Vidalia or Maui, small dice (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine peaches, tomatoes, onion, and lemon juice in a small nonreactive mixing bowl. Season well with salt and let sit at least 20 minutes.
- Just prior to using, season well with freshly ground black pepper and mix thoroughly.
can't get fresh peaches where i am . can i use canned no sugar added peaches instead?
are the peaches peeled first?
Sounds good. Am on a salsa making kick at the moment. Might try it with nectarines.
Just made this salsa and it is yummy. The one thing I will caution is to watch the amount of jalapeno you add. This salsa is blazing!
I made this and added diced jalapeno and cilantro, to give it a little more bite. It's perfect for summer, fresh and sweet. Served it with chicken for dinner, and there's enough leftover to snack on with chips. Yum.
Made the salsa with peaches and tomatoes purchased at farm stand 2 days earlier. A good basic recipe. I ate it with chips; would benefit from a hot pepper addition or perhaps cilantro.
