this Recipe

I made this peach habanero salsa a few weeks ago for a dinner party and knew it deserved a space on this blog. Perfectly sweet with the right amount of heat, this peach salsa recipe pairs perfectly with my appetizer spread of queso dip and canning salsa (and blackberry margs of course!)

This one is best with fresh peaches; the juicier, the better! As with anything fresh, in-season produce is the star so you’ll want ensure your peaches are nice and ripe.

Habanero Peach Salsa Ingredient Notes

Here’s what you need for this fresh peach salsa recipe

• Fresh ripe peaches: This peach salsa recipe is a must for peach season. As this recipe is primarily peaches, you want to use the best quality peaches.
• Yellow tomato: Yellow tomatoes are milder than regular tomatoes and complement the peach color nicely. Therefore, I recommend using yellow tomatoes instead of others in this peach salsa recipe.
• Red bell pepper: As with yellow tomatoes, red pepper offers a nice color contrast for this salsa. You can use yellow or orange instead, but I don’t recommend green.
• Red onion: The red onion adds a nice bite of flavor to the sweet peaches. You can use other onions, but red is preferred.
• Habanero peppers: Paired with the sweet peaches, the habanero adds a nice kick of heat! You can use as little or as much as you’d like. I usually do 2 habanero peppers, seeded and finely diced.
• Lime: I prefer fresh lime juice in this peach salsa recipe, but you can also use a mild vinegar, like apple cider vinegar.

I find that the spiciness of the peppers does vary slightly; I’ve made this 4 times in the past few weeks to test and photograph, and each time, the spicy flavor of the peppers I got varied. Therefore, I’d recommend adding one pepper to start, then adding more as you’d like.
