Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the peaches, tomatoes, red bell pepper, jalapeño pepper, red onion, cilantro, and fresh lime juice. Season to taste with salt and chili powder (or Tajin if using). I normally use ½ teaspoon of fine sea salt and ¼ teaspoon of chili powder for the best flavor. A little chili powder or Tajin goes a long way. Start with 1/8 teaspoon if you’re not sure, then as more if desired.
Serve at room temperature or chilled. For the best flavor, allow the salsa to rest at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes, which helps the flavors mingle together. If you enjoy a chilled salsa, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Make sure everything is uniformly diced. I like to finely chop all the ingredients to the same size so every bite will have a little bit of everything.
Adjust the heat level. For a mild salsa, remove the seeds and white ribs from the jalapeño pepper before dicing. If you prefer a spicier salsa, leave them in or use a habanero instead.
Tastes best when fresh. While this salsa can last up to 2 days covered in an airtight container in the fridge, it tastes best on the day it’s made.
Tomato substitute: You can use 1 – 1¼ cups of finely diced ripe mango, pineapple, or strawberries.
