Print Recipe

A smoky-sweet grilled peach salsa with a spicy kick of jalapeño and fresh cilantro, perfect for summer BBQs and a crowd-pleasing side or topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 medium jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • ¼ cup finely diced red onion
  • Juice of 1 large lime (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F / 190–205°C).
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches, then cut them in half and remove the pits. Lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 3–4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but hold their shape.
  4. Flip and grill the skin side for 2 more minutes. Remove and let cool.
  5. Dice the grilled peaches into roughly ½-inch pieces once cool enough to handle.
  6. Finely chop the jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat), dice the red onion, and roughly chop the cilantro.
  7. In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro. Add lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.
  9. Let the salsa rest for 10–15 minutes at room temperature to allow flavors to meld, or serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness. Oil the grill well to prevent sticking. Adjust jalapeño seeds to control heat. Let salsa rest to meld flavors. Substitute flat-leaf parsley if cilantro is unavailable. Add honey or agave if peaches are not sweet enough.
