I served this recipe at a Farmer's Market this summer and it was a huge hit! However I noticed it makes more than the 2 cups of salsa per recipe. In my estimation it's closer to 4 cups, so planning accordingly.
I made this salsa with canned peaches to go with tacos. It was very tasty and added freshness to the meal. I did add ground chile to spice it up a bit. Will make again when all the produce is in season. Thanks for another simple salsa recipe!
I combined this salsa recipe (minus the tomatoes) with the salsa recipes for Food Hero strawberry and kiwi salsa, for a salsa tasting at our farmer's market. It turned out AMAZING! I made two batches of the three salsas combined and gave out approximately 35 samples of the salsa with corn chips, during the 90 minutes I was at the market. Even the children thought it was good. One said it was "very refreshing." One person said it would be good as a filling for fish tacos. Each person who wanted to replicate the salsa at home was instructed to take a recipe for each and just mix everything together. I used all fresh fruits. I only used a quarter of a jalapeno pepper for each batch, and reduced the amount of onion, due to the fact I knew children would be tasting it. You can control how spicey you want it just by eliminating or increasing the jalapeno pepper amount. I did make one batch the day before and refrigerated it. The second batch, I made at the market. Both batches were excellent, but the second batch had a more vibrant color and a better texture. I will definitely do this again!
I love this recipe. I made it a lot last summer with fresh peaches.
So refreshing, great for summer!
