Ingredients

Mango – A delicious sweet and juicy touch to the salsa, providing vitamins A and C. Can use frozen if fresh is unavailable.

Peach – A sweet burst of flavor that can be substituted with nectarines or apricots if peaches are not in season.

Jalapeno – Adds heat to the salsa, substitute with a bell pepper or omit for a milder flavor.

Red onion – Adds crunch and a subtle onion flavor, can be substituted with green onion or chives for a milder taste.

Cilantro – A fresh herbaceous aroma, can be substituted with parsley or basil for those who don’t like cilantro.

Lime juice – A tangy flavor to the salsa.

Salt and pepper – Balances the flavor and brings out the flavors.

Roma tomato – Adds juicy texture to the salsa.

Instructions

First things first, let’s chop up our ingredients. We’ll be dicing up a small mango, a peach, a jalapeno, a red onion, and a small Roma tomato. Now, if you can’t find a jalapeno, feel free to use a serrano pepper instead. And, if you’re feeling fancy, you can even use a mixture of both! Just make sure to remove the seeds and veins from the pepper if you want it to be less spicy.
Once our fruit and veggies are chopped up, finely chop up some cilantro. This step may be a bit tedious, but trust me, it’ll be worth it in the end.
Now, we’re going to add our chopped ingredients to a bowl, add in a tablespoon of lime juice, a quarter teaspoon of salt, and a quarter teaspoon of pepper. Mix everything together until it’s well combined.

FAQ’s

Can I use a different kind of fruit in this Peach Mango Salsa recipe?

Sure thing! This recipe is pretty versatile when it comes to the fruit. You could try using apricots, pineapples, or even strawberries if you’re feeling adventurous. Just make sure to adjust the amount of lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste.

How long will this Peach Mango Salsa last in the fridge?

According to the recipe, you can store it for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. But let’s be real, it’s so delicious it probably won’t last that long. But, if you’re looking to make a big batch for a party or get-together, you can definitely make it ahead of time.

Is there a way to make this Peach Mango Salsa recipe vegan?

The recipe as written is vegan, but you can make a few substitutions to make it even more so. For example, instead of using regular lime juice, you can use a vegan alternative like apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar. Also, you can use a vegan mayo or yogurt to make it more creamy.

How spicy is this Peach Mango Salsa?

The recipe calls for ½ a jalapeno pepper, so it has a bit of a kick. If you’re sensitive to spicy food, you can always remove the seeds and ribs from the pepper before dicing it to make it less spicy. Or you could use a milder pepper like a poblano instead. But if you’re a spicy food lover, you can always add more jalapeno to your liking!

Can I use cilantro substitutes in this recipe?

Of course! While cilantro adds a unique flavor to this Peach Mango Salsa, it’s totally okay to use other herbs instead. Some alternatives include parsley, mint, or basil. You can also use a combination of herbs to make the salsa unique and delicious. Just use your taste and imagination!
