Fresh Peach Salsa Recipe
A few weeks ago we were at Home Depot and the kids asked us if we could buy some pepper plants. The pepper plants were on sale for 2 bucks each, so we said sure. I mean if they died, the investment wasn’t too high, right?? I have never grown any for of fruit or vegetable on my own, so this was going to be new for us all.
We made a cute little gardening box and got to planting.
Much to our surprise, a few weeks later we had a bunch of peppers! We planted habanero, jalapeno, chili peppers, and shishito peppers. The next part was trying to figure out what to do with them as they were ready to be picked. So, we have been making fresh salsa on a pretty regular basis. It is so easy and I can have a batch ready in under 5 minutes with my handy, dandy Chop-n-Prep Chef that I got from the Food Wine Conference. I am sure you can use any vegetable chopper, but I am loving my Chop-n-Prep Chef, everything is perfectly sized and clean up is a breeze!
Now, onto that salsa recipe. We used some of our fresh peppers, a tomato, a little onion, garlic, and a peach. The sweetness of the peach was the perfect balance to the heat of the peppers. You will see that I left the skin of the peach on, I love peach skin, if you don’t, feel free to remove it. I will be honest, I have never seen a shishito pepper at the store before, so if you don’t see them either, I will tell you that it is a mild pepper…great flavor, but definitely not the heat of a chili pepper and especially not of a jalapeno or a habanero.
Here is our Fresh Peach Salsa Recipe, be sure to Print It and Pin It so that you can make it again and again.
- 1 ripe peach – I left the skin on because I love peach skin, feel free to remove it if desired
- 1 large tomato
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1/4 white onion
- 1 chili pepper
- 1 shishito pepper
- juice from 1/4 lime
- 1 teaspoon cilantro – I used dried because that was what I had, I think fresh would be even better
- Place the ingredients into your chopping device as your device will hold/recommends
- Let the device do the chopping
- Enjoy!
I hope you enjoy this Fresh Peach Salsa Recipe as much as we do.
Go ahead, grab the chip, I know you want too ; ) We ate our just on chips, but it would be amazing on fish and just about everything else!

Looks so good love peaches I’m going to have to try this.
I love me some peaches & I love me some salsa.
Me tooooo!
I love the sweet and spicy aspects of fruit in salsas. . .Pineapple is my favorite to add to salsa
I’m a devil for growing my own veggies on window sills then having a glut & not knowing what to do with my harvest. My best ever (and most exciting) crop was the first time I tried to grow aubergines! From the purple-blue flower to the teeny-weeny fruit forming and growing it was really fun!
I never would have imagined peach’s in salsa. Looks good and worth a try.
Looks amazing!! I will have to make it. I’ve never had peach salsa before.
It is delish – bit of sweet and a bit of spicy! Enjoy 🙂
Let me know what you think once you do 🙂
This is really interesting, I have never thought to use a peach in my salsa, but I know I am going to try this

I need the Chopin Prep chef in my life. Your peach salsa recipe looks so delicious!
I have heard of mango salsa but not peach. I liked the mango one. I’ll have to try this.
What a wonderful recipe for a salsa..brings a whole new taste to dipping
I’ve made salsa before, but not peach salsa. I would love to have a little garden so I can grow a couple things like these peppers. Nice recipe I would love to try this with the ripest juicy peaches that I typically use for pie.
I love the flavor that the peach adds!
The peach salsa looks so good! I can not wait to try it! Great way to use an overabundance of a wonderfully flavorful fruit.
Sweet heat….What more could one ask for?! I love trying different salsas, especially those with a little sweetness. Looking forward to trying this one.
This looks and sounds so good! I love the mix of heat with the peach. We will definitely have to try this!
WOW! I am gonna love this! Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome – enjoy!
I’m going to have to make this for sure!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
We LOVE salsa and go through tons of it. I’ve never tried it with peaches before but can’t wait to make it.
