Chipotle Peach Salsa Ingredients
Below is an overview of the ingredients and recipe. Please be sure to scroll down to the recipe card below for the complete details and nutrition information.
- Diced Peaches – Fresh, canned, or even thawed from frozen! I was still able to make peach salsa with canned peaches, drained!
- Canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce – Just one or two peppers, sliced, is hot enough and add that lovely smokey flavor.
- Sweet onion or red onion – Chop it into bite-sized pieces to add extra crunch and a bit of tang to every bite.
- Fresh diced tomatoes – Tomatoes are a great source of vitamins C and K, potassium, folate, lycopene, and more.
- Cilantro – Provides a vibrant herby flavor that balances out the heat and sweetness of the other ingredients.
- Honey – A great all-natural sweetener, honey adds another layer of sweetness to this salsa.
- Lime – Freshly squeezed is best, but the bottled varieties will also work.
- Sea salt
How to Make Chipotle Peach Salsa
You will need a to use a non-reactive bowl to prep and store this salsa. A non-reactive bowl is one that isn’t going to react to the acid in the salsa. This means, use glass, stainless steel, or something ceramic. Don’t use plastic, cast iron, or aluminum containers because the acid will eat away at your container.
Chunky Fruit Salsa Method
Personally, I like the chunky style so you can scoop up more. But blending the ingredients creates a lovely spread or sauce for grilled meat or fish!
- Prep – Cut, dice, and slice the fruit, tomatoes, and onion. If you’re using canned peaches, be sure to drain the juice.
- Combine – Place the peaches, onion, and tomato in non-reactive serving bowl. Mix in the honey, one canned chipotle pepper (diced), and a smidge of the adobo sauce.
- Season – Add the chopped cilantro and splash of lime juice. Mix together and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Chill – Place in fridge and allow it to chill for at least 30 minutes. Bam that’s it!
Smoother Restaurant Style Salsa
- Prep – Cut and slice the fruit, tomatoes, and onion into small even pieces.
- Blend – Place all of your ingredients (minus the honey, chipotle, and lime juice) into the bowl of a food processor. Then, pulse a few times to combine everything.
- Transfer: Place the salsa in a non reactive bowl and mix in honey, one canned chipotle pepper (diced), and a smidge of the adobo sauce. Mix again, then add lime juice. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Chill in fridge for at least 30 minutes, then serve it up!
