Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, diced

1 cup strawberries, hulled and diced

1/4 red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (adjust for heat preference)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 2 limes

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Begin by rinsing the peaches and strawberries under cold water. Carefully slice the peaches in half, remove the pits, and then cut the flesh into small, even-sized cubes. For the strawberries, ensure to hull them (remove the green tops) and chop them into bite-sized pieces.

    Chop Aromatics: Take the red onion and finely chop it to ensure that its flavor evenly distributes throughout the salsa. Mince the jalapeño, removing all seeds for a milder flavor if desired. Be cautious when handling jalapeños, as oils can linger on your fingers; a quick wash afterward is recommended.

      Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, add the diced peaches, strawberries, finely chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, and freshly chopped cilantro. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula or wooden spoon, taking care not to mash the fruits.

        Add Lime Juice: Squeeze the juice from the two limes over the combined fruit mixture. This not only enhances the flavor profile but also acts as a natural preservative, helping keep the colors of the fruits bright and appealing.

          Season & Sweeten: Next, sprinkle the salsa with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning based on your preference. If you enjoy a touch of sweetness to balance the tang of the lime, incorporate the tablespoon of honey and stir gently until well combined.

            Chill: Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salsa into a clean jar with a lid. Place it in the refrigerator and allow to chill for at least 30 minutes. This resting period is essential because it lets the flavors meld and develop into a harmonious blend.

              Serve: After chilling, give the salsa a light stir and taste it again to ensure the seasoning is right. Serve your Peach Strawberry Salsa in a colorful bowl alongside crispy tortilla chips, as a fresh accompaniment to grilled meats, or as a zesty topping for fish tacos for a perfect summer experience.
