Nectarine Fresh Salsa

Fresh salsa, especially fresh peach or nectarine salsa is one of my favorite savory summertime dishes.

Peach salsa is super versatile and can be made in a variety of ways! Try it with or without tomatoes and season it with basil or cilantro, depending on your preference! Red onions or candy onions both make an excellent choice to add some flavor to your peach salsa. Of course, the juice of fresh lime is the best way to add that tang to your salsa. Get creative and mix in some lime zest too!

Jalapeno peppers offer a mild spice to your salsa, but if you’re serving this to kids who don’t care for spices like I am, I typically leave out the hot peppers.

When it comes to selecting yellow or white peaches or nectarines vs. peaches, it all comes down to your preference! Nectarines tend to be a little bit firmer than peaches and of course have a fuzz-free flesh. White peaches are sweeter than yellow peaches, but yellow peaches and nectarines have a stronger flavor.

It’s a great time to enjoy all the flavors of the season! You can pick peaches and nectarines here at our orchard between Philadelphia and Lancaster as well as plums, pears, apples and more!

The more accurate title for this dish would be Nectarine Pico de Gallo – and you can read all about the differences between salsa and Pico de Gallo here!
