Whether spooned over grilled chicken or served as a dip, this peach salsa is sure to be a refreshing hit at any table.
Ingredients:
- 2 cans (28 oz. each) peaches, drained and chopped
- 2 tablespoons reserved syrup from canned peaches
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- ½ bunch cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 fresh lime
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons Fiesta Seasoning Dip Mix
Directions:
- Start by draining the canned peaches, reserving 2 tablespoons of the syrup. Chop the peaches into small, salsa-appropriate pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- To the peaches, add the diced red bell pepper and the minced jalapeño, making sure to handle the jalapeño carefully to avoid any irritation from the capsaicin.
- Chop the cilantro, being mindful to use only the leaves and tender stems, and add it to the bowl with the other ingredients for a fresh, herby note.
- Squeeze the juice of one lime over the peach mixture, providing a citrusy sharpness that will brighten the salsa's flavor profile.
- Sprinkle the chili powder into the bowl, giving a subtle warmth and complexity to the salsa.
- Now, pour in the reserved peach syrup and the Fiesta Seasoning Dip Mix, ensuring that each ingredient complements the others and heightens the overall taste.
- Gently stir all the ingredients together until they are well combined and the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the salsa.
- Let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the salsa to develop a more rounded taste.
- Serve your Peach Salsa as a refreshing accompaniment to grilled meats, a zesty topping for tacos, or as a novel dip that will elevate your chips.
This Peach Salsa is a testament to the playful balance of sweet and heat. Serve it up at your next gathering and watch it disappear in a flurry of compliments!
