No Matter How You Dice It
I promised you recipes featuring fresh fruits and veggies of summer. Here is a recipe you can play with, add to, change, etc. and I’m convinced it will be delicious, no matter how you dice it. I had a few peaches hanging around and fresh garden tomatoes staring from the window sill, begging to be eaten. Mixing the two colors made the most enchanting presentation. Don’t you love the colorful jumble of ripe red tomato, dark green jalapeño, green onion and sunset colored peaches?The recipe came together based on what I had on hand, as is often the case in my kitchen. I could have added some fresh herbs, used lemon or orange juice instead of lime, green or yellow peppers, poblanos, serranos, red onion, you see the possibilities are endless. The sweet juicy peaches and newly picked tomatoes offer a fresh flavor with an occasional hot snap from the jalapeño. Peach-Tomato salsa is the perfect summer corn chip dip or is equally yummy on fish, chicken or pork.
Enjoy!

a feast for the eyes !
Thank you – and the palate!
I’m making up a batch of salsa now. This looks great. Wish I had more peaches!
Remember it is a flexible recipe! We are having a little summer thunderstorm as I speak…whoo hoo! Turning off the computer now.
A very colorful salsa…yummy.
Thank you !
A perfect summer treat – and easily locally sourced. Thanks
You are welcome. I like local, fresh stuff as much as I can get it. The photos from your Ca. trip show beautiful farmers market produce!
Mm, I tried mango in salsas before but not peaches – great idea, and we’re getting some fantastic peaches in stores at the moment. I can buy a huge tray of them, fantastically sweet and plump. Bet the chilli gives a beautiful little kick too!
Yummy! Mango is another of my favorites for salsa – sound alike we’re on the same page. Nice to see you stop by!
