Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

3 medium ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • 3 peaches Peeled and diced into about 1/2-inch pieces.
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 1 jalapeño Seed and mince finely to control heat.
1/2 red onion, finely diced
  • 0.5 red onion Finely diced for even texture.
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 0.5 cup fresh cilantro Chopped.
Juice of 2 limes
  • 2 limes Juice only.
1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp honey
1/4 tsp cumin
  • 0.25 tsp cumin
Salt to taste
  • 0.25 tsp salt Adjust to taste.
1/2 cup diced cucumber
  • 0.5 cup cucumber Dice for crunchy, watery freshness.
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar Adds clean acidity.

Method
 

Dice and combine
  1. Dice the peaches into about 1/2-inch pieces, then add them to a bowl with the minced jalapeño, finely diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and diced cucumber.
  2. Gently toss the fruit and vegetables together so the cucumber stays crisp and the peaches don’t break down.
Season and toss
  1. Add the lime juice and rice wine vinegar, then drizzle in the honey and sprinkle with cumin and salt.
  2. Toss gently again until the salsa looks evenly coated with a glossy, lightly sweet-tart seasoning.
Chill, taste, and serve
  1. Refrigerate the salsa for 20 minutes to let the flavors meld while keeping a fresh crunch.
  2. Taste and adjust salt, lime juice, or honey as needed.
  3. Serve chilled with chips, spoon it over grilled chicken, or top banh-mi style pork.

Notes

Pro tip: rice wine vinegar brings a clean acidity that’s gentler than lime, so using both helps the peach flavor taste brighter. Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 2 days; stir before serving. Freezing isn’t recommended because cucumbers and peaches lose their crisp texture. Dietary swap: for a lower-sugar option, reduce honey to 1/2 tsp and adjust with extra lime to balance.
