Spicy Peach Salsa

This spicy peach salsa is absolutely gorgeous! The combination of colours 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 odour.

For best results, make this 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.

Prep time: 20 minutes (+ 30 minutes to overnight for flavors to develop)
Cook time: n/a
Serves: 4-6

Ingredients:

6 fresh peaches, pits removed and cut into small pieces

3 T. fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped

Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
