Trader Joe's Chipotle Fresh Peach Salsa ~ Copycat Recipe 🍑🌶🥒

 

This chipotle peach salsa is fresh and flavorful!

Ingredients:

4 yellow peaches

1 or 2 cloves of garlic 

2 teaspoons of adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce)

1/4 teaspoon cumin

4 tablespoons lime juice (about 2 limes)

3 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1 lemon)

3/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan or sea salt

2 Roma tomatoes

1 jalapeno pepper

3/4 cup finely diced red onion (about 1/2 of 1 large onion)

1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves

Method:

Place the peaches in a bowl and cover with hot tap water. Set aside to soak.

In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, adobo sauce, cumin, juices and salt. Set aside.

Remove one peach from the water. Slice the peach in half from top to bottom on both sides. Twist the halves to loosen one half from the other. Cut each half in half. Remove the pit. Use a knife to peel away the skin from each peach quarter. Cut into small bite sized pieces and place in a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining peaches.

Slice the tomatoes in half and remove the seeds. Cut the tomatoes into small bite sized pieces and add to the peaches.

Cut open the jalapeno and remove the seeds. Finely dice. Add the jalapeno, onion and cilantro to the peaches.

Drizzle the juice mixture over all of the ingredients and stir to combine.

Chill for 15 minutes or overnight before serving. Makes about 6 cups of salsa. Serve with chips or as a side accompaniament.

Notes: 

The store bought salsa is good, but this homemade version is even better!

This salsa is great with chips and a perfect accompaniament to Mexican dishes such as tacos, fajitas and tostadas. It also pairs well with chicken and pork dishes.
