Strawberry-Peach Salsa Recipe

By Stacy Karen, Contributing Writer

Summer is a wonderful tine to enjoy fresh salsa. It’s so flavorful and delicious! Plus, it’s easy to make.

However, you may want a change from tomato-based salsas. (I’m sure that’s mortifying to some die-hard salsa fans!) If so, this fruit-based salsa will be a welcome change.

Made with fresh peaches and strawberries, it makes good use of in-season produce and adds an unexpected sweetness to meals.

To make this Strawberry-Peach salsa quickly, you will need a food processor. The wonderful thing about using a food processor to make salsa is that the fruit and vegetables need only to be roughly chopped. The strawberries can even be thrown in whole.

A high-powered blender will also work.

The salsa can also be made by hand, it just requires a little more chopping. Further instructions are given below.

Strawberry-Peach Salsa Recipe

Makes 2 1/2-3 cups.

Course: Appetizer

Servings: 2 .5-3 cups

Author: Ann Timm

Ingredients

• 1 cup peaches about 2 peaches, roughly chopped
• 2 cups strawberries stems removed
• 1/3 of a medium green pepper chopped into large chunks
• 1/2 small onion chopped (white or red onion will work. Red onion provides a stronger flavor)
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1/2 - 1 jalapeño pepper or more, depending on how hot you like your salsa
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons olive oil or avocado oil

Instructions

• Place all ingredients in a food processor.
• Close lid and pulse 5 to 10 times. The magic number for me is usually 8.

Notes

To make salsa by hand: chop the strawberries, peaches, and green pepper into bite-sized chunks and mince the onion and jalapeño pepper. Then gently stir in the honey, oil, and lemon.

This Strawberry-Peach salsa pairs well with grilled chicken.

It is also delicious poured over cream cheese and used a a dip with crackers or chips.
