Fresh Peach Salsa Recipe with Basil and Lemon

The best way to enjoy the bounty of juicy yellow peaches besides eating them over the kitchen sink with their sticky juices dripping down your arm. It’s definitely worth the clean up!

Make this during the summer months when peaches are at their peak. Look for peaches that are fragrant, a little firm but with a nice give, much like picking a ripe avocado. Just please do not use frozen or canned peaches here.

How to Make Fresh Peach Salsa:

  1. Start with ripe yellow peaches, rinse them well, discard the pit and dice the peaches.
  2. Choose between fresh basil or cilantro. I’m really fond of basil during summertime and the flavors compliment each other perfectly, however a Mexican version with cilantro has its own charm.
  3. Acidity: you have a choice between fresh lemon or lime, choose whatever rocks your tastebuds!
  4. Make it spicy: jalapeno, habanero or red chili all work well here, if you are looking to spice things up quite a bit then habanero delivers the most heat.
  5. Balance the acidy of the lemons with a drizzle of maple syrup, make sure to taste as you go, if your peaches are very sweet you might not need to adjust anything.
  6. You can go for a mix of peaches and mangos if desired or any of the combinations listed below, a half and half ratio is ideal.

Serve with your favorite chips or spoon over this vegan chick’n, jackfruit tacos or vegan ribs, it really goes well with everything!

Can You Freeze Fresh Salsa ?

Not a good idea to freeze this as the texture will be completely ruined and mushy when defrosting. The magic of this salsa really comes from the freshness of the peaches and herbs which is what makes it such a seasonal recipe. You’ve gotta make it during the short months of summer.

  1. Such a delicious recipe, this works with extra ripe peaches too just the texture won’t be quite as pretty. I added some mango into the mix and it turned out fantastic.
