Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 3 cups (460g) diced fresh peaches* (about 4 small-medium peaches)
- 1/2 cup diced red onion (70g)
- ½ of a small red bell pepper**, diced
- ½ cup diced English cucumber (70g)
- 2 jalapeño peppers diced (for mild heat, remove membranes from peppers)
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
- 3 to 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- ½ cup (8g) cilantro leaves and tender stems, finely chopped
- Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 large ripe avocado or 2 small avocados, diced
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the peaches, onion, bell pepper, cucumber, jalapeños, orange juice, 3 tablespoons lime juice, and cilantro. Mix to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Taste, adding more lime juice as desired. Don't add the avocado now. NOTE: This salsa is quite spicy, so if you're not sure what heat level you can handle, start with 1 jalapeño pepper, taste the salsa, and then add more as desired.
- Only before serving (to maintain texture and freshness), add the avocado and gently mix to combine, taking care to not smash the avocado. Taste for seasonings and add more salt and pepper as desired.
Notes
*If you don't have good peaches, feel free to sub with mango, pineapple, or diced strawberries.
**If you really like bell peppers, feel free to use the whole pepper.
