Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • Ripe peaches (4, peeled, pitted, and diced)
  • Red onion (1/2, finely diced)
  • Red bell pepper (1, finely diced)
  • Jalapeno (1, seeded and minced (adjust for spice preference))
  • Fresh cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
  • Lime juice (2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed)
  • Honey (1 tablespoon (or to taste))
  • Salt (1/2 teaspoon (or to taste))
  • Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon (or to taste))

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeno, and cilantro. Gently mix to avoid bruising the peaches.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  3. Pour the dressing over the peach mixture and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
  5. Serve chilled as a dip with tortilla chips, or use it as a bright topping for grilled meats or tacos.
