Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe peaches
- 1 small ripe papaya
- 1 small red bell pepper
- 0.25 medium red onion
- 1 small jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 whole lime
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing all the produce thoroughly under cold running water.
Peel the peaches and remove the pits. Dice the flesh into small, even pieces about 1/4 inch in size and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
Cut the papaya in half. Scoop out the seeds and discard them. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh or peel the papaya, then dice it into small 1/4-inch cubes and add to the bowl with the peaches.
Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces and add to the bowl.
Finely chop 1/4 of a red onion and add it to the mixture.
Carefully dice the jalapeño, removing the seeds and membrane for a milder salsa, or keep them for more heat. Add the diced jalapeño to the bowl.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and mix it into the salsa.
Zest the lime and set the zest aside. Then cut the lime in half and juice it over the salsa, making sure to remove any seeds.
Add the lime zest, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Gently toss all the ingredients together to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño for your preferred flavor.
Let the salsa sit for 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld, or chill it in the refrigerator if preferred.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or as a topping for grilled fish, chicken, or pork.
