Why We Love This Recipe

• We love buying the mango peach salsa at Costco, but wanted a slightly healthier version we could make at home. Ours is made with fresh ingredients like mangoes, peaches, and tomatoes, and comes together quickly and easily.
• It's perfect for serving with any summer meal, especially with food made on the grill (like chicken, fish, or steak).
• This salsa is super fast and easy. You just have to dice the veggies and fruit, and throw them in a bowl with cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, and salt.
• It's the perfect summer party appetizer. Serve it with tortilla chips and guacamole for a full appetizer spread.

🍑 Key Ingredients and Substitutions

• A mango: We use fresh mango and cut it up ourselves. If you don't want to deal with cutting a mango, you can buy the pre-cut containers in the refrigerated section at the grocery store. We don't recommend using frozen mangoes. If you don't like mangoes, you can substitute pineapple.
• A peach: We use one large fresh peach. The juicier, the better. You can also substitute a nectarine. We don't recommend canned or frozen peaches.
• Cherry tomatoes: We love the taste and convenience of cherry tomatoes. They taste great all year and they're generally juicier than normal tomatoes. You can substitute grape tomatoes or regular tomatoes if you prefer.
• Limes: This recipe uses lime juice and lime zest, so we use fresh limes instead of bottled lime juice. We don't recommend a substitute.
• Jalapeño: We use a fresh jalapeño, not jarred pickled jalapeños. If you don't like spicy food, then try adding a red bell pepper instead. If you want something a little spicier than a jalapeño, then use a habanero or serrano pepper.
• Red onion: We don't recommend a substitution for red onion, but if yours is too strong, you can soak the diced red onions in ice water for 20 or 30 minutes to remove some of the intense flavor.
• Cilantro: Use fresh cilantro for best results. Dried cilantro isn't a good substitute.

🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Add diced peaches, mangoes, tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeños to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Then add lime juice, lime zest, salt, and cilantro and mix.

Step 2: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 days.

💭 Top Tips

• Mangoes are kind of an annoying fruit to cut, but luckily the internet exists to help us. This step-by-step tutorial from Love and Lemons is super helpful. We cut ours into slightly smaller chunks, about ¼ inch.
• Pick ripe peaches and mangoes. To pick a ripe peach, squeeze the peach slightly. It should give slightly and not feel firm. Ripe peaches are also dark yellow in color. Likewise, ripe mangoes are slightly soft when you squeeze them and are mostly yellow or orange in color.
• If you don't like red onions or yours seems especially strong, soak the diced red onion pieces in ice water for 20 to 30 minutes. The cold water helps release some of the pungent flavor.
• Don't skip refrigerating this salsa after you make it. Letting the salsa sit for a while makes it more juicy and helps the flavors combine. It also tastes the best cold!

🍽 Serving Ideas

Serve this salsa with:

• Fish: We love this salsa on top of mahi-mahi, salmon, shrimp, and halibut. It's especially good with grilled or blackened fish. Try it with our grilled salmon bites.
• Chicken: This is also great on grilled or pan-seared chicken. Try it with our air fryer blackened chicken or pan-seared chicken breast.
• Tacos or fajitas: We love this on fish tacos. We serve a version of it on our mahi-mahi tacos and regularly put it on our chicken and beef tacos too. It's also great served with fajitas!
• Chips and guacamole: Serve this with tortilla chips and guacamole for a full party spread.
