Aromatic peach salsa is a wonderful condiment that goes so well with so many different recipes. Serve it with fried prawns, steak or as a side dish for your Mexican dinner party. It’s extremely easy to make and delivers loads of flavour.
I love adding a touch of fruity flavour to my lunch or dinner recipes. It keeps my taste buds excited and makes the same old recipes feel different and unique.
It’s not the easiest task to incorporate sweet and juicy fruits into your savoury recipes, because they can easily become overpowering. But by balancing fruity flavours with the right amount of acid and salt – you can really make magic.
When I was a kid, I remember my mum used to add tinned peaches or pineapples to chicken stews. When I told my friends, they looked at me like I’d just told them I liked eating pizza with pineapples – controversial and very unusual! However, my mum is the ultimate master of flavours – she managed to combine these ingredients in perfect harmony.
So it’s no surprise my amazing mum is where this fascination with sweet and savoury came from.
If you’d like to start your fruit-flavour discovery journey, this peach salsa is the perfect starting point. It’s easy to make, always works, and goes with loads of different recipes.
How to Make Aromatic Peach Salsa
This recipe is so easy that it’s crazy to even call it a ‘recipe’. Basically, you chop everything, add some salt, olive oil and acidity. Mix it up and eat. That’s it. Everyone can make it!
- The first part will take the longest time – very finely chop your peaches, bell and chilli peppers. You want to end up with small cubes that are all the same size.
- Squeeze the lemon juice and pour it onto the chopped ingredients.
- Add some freshly chopped parsley.
- Finish the dish with some sea salt and olive oil.
Recipe Variations for Peach Salsa
OK, maybe calling it a recipe variation is too bold. When you just have 4 ingredients, it’s quite difficult to change any of them. However, if you’re not a fan of peaches, you can easily swap them for:
- Nectarines
- Mangos
- Pineapples
- Papaya
Also, I used a bunch of parsley in this recipe, because I really don’t like coriander. But if you like coriander, feel free to use it in this peach salsa recipe.
