Peach and red pepper salsa is a vibrant and refreshing mix of juicy peaches, sweet red peppers, and a hint of heat, perfect for adding a fruity twist to your summer dishes. This salsa takes advantage of peak-season peaches, which are at their juiciest and most flavorful in mid to late summer, and pairs them with the crispness of fresh red peppers. The combination of sweet and slightly spicy elements creates a dynamic flavor profile that’s both refreshing and tantalizing. It’s an ideal accompaniment for grilled meats, tacos, or simply enjoyed with tortilla chips as a summertime appetizer.
