Good summer meals start and end with salsa, and we love mixing it up with different flavors, including this flavorful peach salsa.
Salsa is not just for scooping up with chips. It is amazing as a topping to eggs, chicken and pork, not to mention all of the amazing Mexican recipes we love to cook up.
Our Favorite Pairings for Traditional Tomato Salsa
A few we can't get enough of: Creamy Chicken Enchiladas, Mexican Rice with Stuffed Peppers, and Copycat Cafe Rio Shredded Beef Tacos. Topping any of these recipes with salsa is amazing. For our favorite Mexican recipes, we prefer a classic tomato salsa or Copycat Chipotle Corn Salsa.
Mix it Up with Our Spicy Peach Salsa
We love making homemade meals all year long, but good summer meals mean grilling out and fresh fruits and vegetables. Topping fresh grilled food with our Spicy Peach Salsa is the best!
Perfectly Grilled Chicken Halves and Perfectly Grilled Pork Ribs are both excellent recipes to pair with Spicy Peach Salsa.
This spicy peach salsa is absolutely gorgeous! The combination of colors creates a beautiful presentation, while the delicious blend of sweet and spicy flavors makes it a wonderful addition to simply prepared fish, chicken or pork dishes.
This one is a keeper, for sure!
Tip: Soak the red onion in a cup of water for 10-15 minutes before using to reduce its strong flavor and odor.
For best results, make the salsa the night before serving so the flavors have a chance to blend. This will also soften the peaches and onion to a nice consistency.
