Are you ready for another incredible recipe using tons of fresh summer produce? Good, because this gorgeous avocado peach salsa is packed with a rainbow of produce that will have you doing backflips for more.
I originally made a version of this salsa to top my famous firecracker salmon and found that I was adding it to literally everything. Grilled chicken, fish tacos, in burrito bowls, and just eating by the spoonful because it’s THAT GOOD.
The flavors are perfectly balanced: sweet, a little spicy, tangy and so fresh. It’s super easy to customize with what you have on hand, too, so have fun with the flavor combos! Serve it up at your next BBQ or the next time you need an easy appetizer or side to go with your favorite proteins.

Choosing the right peaches
The first step in making this peach avocado salsa is, of course, picking up some fresh produce! It’s important to pick fruits that aren’t too ripe so that they’re not mushy when mixed together. In this salsa be sure to choose peaches that have a slightly sweet smell, but are on the firmer side. They should still have a little bit of give when you press them.
Can I use a different fruit?
Sure! I love the flavor of peaches in this salsa recipe, but I think diced mango or even pineapple would be fun. Otherwise, feel free to try my mango salsa recipe.

Simple tips for making fruit salsa
- Choose the right fruit. As I mentioned, be sure that your fruit isn’t overly ripe as it will result in mushy salsa.
- Chop small(ish). Dice all of the fruit small enough so that you can scoop it onto a chip, but not so small that the fruit all blends together.
- Adjust the heat. If you like spice like I do, feel free to leave the seeds in your jalapeño or even add a habanero! To keep the salsa mild, de-seed your jalapeño or leave it out.
