ℹ️ Introduction

If you asked me what my favorite fruit is, I would have to say mangoes. And delicious fresh peaches are a close second. So, needless to say, this recipe is one of my all-time favorites.

Mangoes and peaches come into season in the summer at around the same time, and there’s no better way to enjoy these two delicious fruits than in this bright, colorful summer fruit salsa.

The natural sweetness of the diced fresh mango and peach is combined with the spicy flavors of red onion, ginger, and jalapeno and topped with a squeeze of lime juice to add depth and tanginess.

In just 15 minutes, you can whip up this easy homemade salsa with fresh ingredients. It’s perfect for casual summer gatherings, backyard barbecues, and weekend potlucks.

Serve it with tortilla chips for dipping, or spoon it over grilled fish or chicken for a fresh flavor. Fish tacos taste amazing with this simple and delicious peach salsa with mango flavor!

❤️ WHY YOU NEED TO TRY THIS PEACH AND MANGO SALSA RECIPE 

  • It’s a great way to use up ripe summer peaches and mangoes. The sweet, juicy fruits give the salsa an amazing flavor.
  • The sweet and savory flavors combine perfectly. The sweetness of the mango and peach pair deliciously with the onion, ginger, jalapeno, and lime juice. It’s a refreshing salsa.
  • Spicy peach mango salsa can be served in many different ways. Serve it with tortilla chips, as a side dish with fish tacos, grilled chicken or pork chops, or as a salad topper.
  • Make peach salsa from scratch in about 15 minutes, with jut a few minutes of chopping and mixing.
  • It’s healthy. Peaches and mangoes provide vitamin C and fiber. Go light on the oil and salt for a nutritious appetizer or side.
  • It’s a versatile side dish. You can omit the jalapeno peppers if you don’t like spicy food.

💡 Tips for making the best peach mango salsa


Fruit Tips

  • Use ripe, in-season peaches and mangoes. Pick fruits that have no blemishes.
  • For the best texture, chop the mango and peaches into uniform pieces (about ¼ to ½ inch).
  • For overripe fruits, dice them into slightly larger pieces to avoid mushy fruit.
  • Peel the peach skin using a vegetable peeler before chopping. Use a sharp knife and be careful dicing the fruit.

Adjust Spice

  • Remove the jalapeno ribs and seeds before dicing if you want less heat.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste. Add more lime juice for acidity, salt for savoriness, or extra jalapeno for heat.
  • Make mango habanero salsa by using habanero peppers instead of jalapeño peppers.

Recipe Variations and Substitutions

  • Substitute nectarines, strawberries, or pineapples. Pineapple mango salsa is delicious too!
  • Use shallots or green onions instead of red onions.
  • Use mint instead of cilantro.
  • Roast or grill the fruit to add a smoky flavor to the salsa.
  • Make a smooth salsa by using a mini blender or food processor.
  • Add chopped avocado to make it a creamy salsa.
  • Add a chopped roma tomato and omit the ginger to make this salsa in the Santa Barbara peach mango salsa style.
  • Use lemon juice instead of lime juice, or add lime zest.
  • To make a sweet salsa, omit the jalapeno and ginger.

General Tips

  • Use any color bell pepper, but red bell pepper looks really good.
  • Chop the onion and jalapeno into very fine pieces.
  • The salsa tastes best if it sits for an hour before serving for the juices to meld.
  • Add the lime juice shortly before serving to prevent the acid from breaking down the fruit. Try to use the juice from fresh limes rather than bottled lime juice.
  • To make salsa ahead, chop the fruits ahead of time and store them separately.
  • If the fruits aren’t ripe enough, add a teaspoon of brown sugar to the salsa along with the salt.

Storage

  • Leftover salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

❓ FAQS


What is the best way to cut a mango?

First, cut the mango along both sides of the seed, hugging the seed as far as possible. Score the two large mango pieces in a grid pattern without cutting through the skin. Use a large spoon to scoop out the diced mango pieces.

Can I use frozen mango and peaches?

Yes, you can use frozen diced mango and peaches. Just thaw them first and drain any excess liquid before using. The salsa may be a bit mushier, but it’ll still taste great.

What if my salsa is too spicy?

You can temper the heat by adding a little honey or extra diced mango or peach.

    I used frozen mangos and canned peaches. It was a bit mushy but the flavors were good. The savory sweet taste was good over baked chicken.
