I have a basket full of peaches! There are so many recipes I could use for the abundance of peaches sitting on my table. Today I chose to make “Peach-Mango Salsa” to accompany the roasted chicken I was preparing for dinner. It is one of those days where I dream up a recipe to facilitate the use of some ingredient on hand – in this case, PEACHES!
This recipe could easily be adapted to your specific taste. Just use your imagination! I like Mangos so I decided to add one to the salsa. Fresh basil, growing on the patio and some fresh ginger add a wonderful flavor and fragrance to this salsa. The heady, peppery fragrance of fresh basil turns me on and is a perfect companion to the fresh peaches and mangos. Serve this salsa with chicken, seafood or munch on it with fresh-baked pita chips. It is a refreshing, summery salsa, sure to bring a smack to your lips and a smile to your face.
Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1/2 small onion, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
3 medium peaches, pitted, peeled and chopped
1 mango, pitted, peeled and chopped
2 tbsp. fresh basil, chopped
generous pinch of salt
1 1/2 tbsp. fresh ginger, minced
1 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp honey
Mix all ingredients together and toss gently.

That looks great. We did something similar last night with grilled chicken and will have the leftovers tonight with shrimp tacos. I love peach season.
The Orange Bee says
Thank you! I’m doing shrimp tonight with peach salsa again – it’s hard to over dose on fresh peaches. Think I might just pick up a few tortillas and do tacos as well. Thanks for stopping by!
