Honey-Lime Peach Salsa
You know what are kind of like peaches? Men.
At first they seem nice and fuzzy but after you bring them home and look a little closer, you realize there were a few rotten spots that you missed before.
Then you try to eat around the bruises, feeling discouraged and wondering if you’ll ever find one that’s just right.
Okay so maybe that’s not the best metaphor but you get the drift. You have to kiss a bunch of frogs to find the perfect peach…? It ain’t easy!
I’ve had peaches on the brain since we had that incredible sorbet a few weeks ago. If I had an ice cream maker, er room for an ice cream maker, then you can bet I would be recreating that sorbet in a heart beat but I don’t. So that’s that.
However I do have a knife and a cutting board which is all you need to make this summery salsa!
I know I’m not reinventing the wheel with this recipe but for my first time trying a fruit salsa, it turned out to be pretty awesome.
Peaches and basil are a surprisingly delicious combination, especially when they’re paired with sweet corn kernels and tomato. Then the garlic, onion, and jalapeno along with honey and lime make it a sweet-meets-savory combo that will have your taste buds dancing.
Also, these chips: 
They’re the lightest and airiest most deliciousest tortilla chips ever. And no one paid me to say that. If they did I might’ve come up with a better descriptor than delicousest. Maybe.
Moral of this story: peach salsa = summertime. So grab a chip or smother it on top of something and enjoy!
Ingredients
3 medium size peaches (or 2 large), diced
2 tomatoes, diced
1/2 red onion, diced
1 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen and defrosted
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
1/4 cup packed fresh basil, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
juice of 2 limes
1 teaspoon honey or agave
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Combine the first six ingredients (peaches to jalapeno) in a large bowl.
- Mix the remaining ingredients (garlic to olive oil) together in a measuring cup then pour into the bowl.
- Stir until well combined and serve!
- *Best when consumed within 1-2 days.
Welp, I love mango salsa so I imagine I’d love peach salsa too! And those chips sounds amazing. The right tortilla chip makes allllll the difference. But really.
I love the idea of adding honey to a fruit salsa! And of course, any sort of fruit salsa will make me happy.
Interesting tortillas. So far I’ve liked all the products you endorsed (without getting paid :)). I think we like the same kind of food. Natural and healthy.
p.s. Never eaten peaches in a salad, shame on me: it looks so fresh!
This salsa is so beautiful! I love peaches and in Jersey they’re coming in! I may have to try this one. It would probably be delicious on some grilled chicken!
I have been loving peaches this summer and that salsa looks amazing! I think I like nectarines more though, I’m sure they’d work great in this too.
I’ve had peaches on the brain too! I love fruit salsas, but sadly the husband does not, so I don’t make them as often as I want to. Maybe I’ll just make a batch for myself ;-)
Love your salsa, sounds delicious! Where did you get those chia and quinoa chips?
Thanks Cheri! I found the chips at Whole Foods.
Corn salsa is the bomb.com. And this recipe looks so refreshing with a little bit of added sweet! Peaches just scream ‘Summer!’ to me!
I need to try making this! i saw the photo pop up in my email and basically i would have it for lunch right now if i could, and then again in an hour or two for snack :)
Haha I love your comparison between peaches and men! It is true though : ) I’ve had a tough time with picking out the right peaches at the store!
And this sounds perfect. I love a good fruit salsa!
That salsa looks amazing and I also love those chips! My man is thankfully quite sweet and fuzzy when he doesn’t shave his beard :)
I don’t think I’ve ever had a peach salsa before. This looks addicting!
Where did you find those chips? I’ve been lookin’ for them.
Pinning this summer recipe!
Whole Foods!
Oh my gosh, I’m LOLing at your metaphor! :) Good thing we already found our peaches… err… men ;) And I love a good sweet salsa – your recipe looks perfect!
Fruit salsa is my FAVE! I’ve never tried those chips before, but if they’re the deliciousest, I’ve got to keep an eye out for them. We won’t tell Brandon you found a few rotten spots on him… just teasing :)
He knows he can be rotten sometimes but he’s definitely my perfect peach! ;)
Thank you for this recipe! I have been compulsively buying Trader Joe’s Peach salsa to have on hand for surprise guests, but I would love to make the real thing for a bachelorette party I’m hosting this weekend ;)
Have fun at the party this weekend! :)
I love fruity salsa! And peaches! You are so right about peaches — I can appreciate where you were going with that metaphor haha
Brandon said the beginning of this post makes it sound like I’m a single lonely woman, haha! I’m glad you were able to appreciate the point I was try to make. ;)
Wow, this peach salsa looks amazing! I could easily eat this for a meal :D Pinning
I absolutely LOVE peach salsa. And I agree with you that good peaches, like men, are hard to find! :)
I’m so glad you understand where I’m coming from! Luckily we were able to find us a few good peaches. ;)
perfect! I just got some kale & chia tortilla chips which are perfect for salsa dipping…I was looking for a healthy store bought option but homemade always beats store bought! This looks super refreshing :)
YUM! This looks delicious!! So healthy and fresh! Great recipe!… even if you just have a cutting board!! LOVE it :)
this is just the perfect light summer salad.. definitely will be recreating this salsa in my kitchen. love that you used peaches. yum!
Awh girl, you’re sooooo sweet! I loved the comparison hehe :’) Aaaaand I love the sound of this salsa as well. Peach anything is a winner! And those tortilla chips sound amaaazing!
I bought a jar of this at Whole Foods on Saturday for $6. Insaneee. Yours looks 10x better! This is the perfect light summer salsa! Sometimes you don’t want to go ALL out and spicy in the summer, so this is the perfect in between!
looks great! never heard of fruit in salsa before, but it looks yummy :)
Ha! I love your peach metaphor, so true! I’m a huge chipaholic (apparently chipaholic isn’t a word and it is suggesting I replace it with shopaholic or chocoholic which incidentally I think I am both of those too!), and this salsa looks like the perfect excuse to eat more chips! I love that you added the sweet peaches!
I don’t know how I missed this post but all I can say is I need that salsa now. Period end.
