Chips and salsa are a staple in this house. I have no less than 4 jars of salsa in the pantry at any given time and usually 1 or 2 or opened ones in the fridge. We are addicted!

We tend to rely on store-bought for convenience, but it’s actually pretty easy to make your own homemade salsa. There are so many variations to create, including fruit salsa!

Keep reading to learn how to make this homemade fresh peach salsa recipe and some delicious ways you can use it!

What is Salsa?

Salsa is a Spanish word that means “sauce” in English. In the United States, we typically think of salsa as a spicy raw tomato-based sauce with onions, and peppers. 

What Can I Add to Salsa To Make it Better?

If you’re looking for a more creative salsa recipe, the options are endless. Adding different herbs, vegetables, and even fruit, will satisfy your salsa cravings no matter your mood. 

My Smoky Cilantro Lime Mexican Bean Dip can be used like a chunky salsa and my Creamy Cranberry Salsa Dip is an entertaining favorite that’s perfect for the winter holidays.

Fresh Peach Salsa Ingredients

This easy Peach Salsa is made with just 5 ingredients, plus salt. 

Combining peaches, jalapeños, red onion, basil, orange juice, and a pinch of salt is a super tasty refreshing combination.

Be sure to use fresh peaches that are in season to ensure they are sweet and juicy.

How to Make Peach Salsa

All you need to make this quick fruit salsa is a cutting board, sharp knife, and a bowl. No food processor necessary!

Simply dice the peaches, finely dice the jalapeños and red onion, and chiffonade the basil. Squeeze the juice of an orange over the top, add a pinch of salt, and toss gently to combine.

Fruit Salsa Variations

Try cilantro and lime juice instead of basil and orange juice.

Add diced tomato or cucumber.

Replace two of the peaches with diced mango.

Add an extra jalapeño and/or leave in the ribs and seeds for an even spicier bite.
