Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 medium peaches, diced
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 1 large ear corn (0.75 cup corn)
Fresh Aromatics:
- 3 tablespoons red onion, finely diced
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, finely diced
Seasoning:
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Select ripe yet firm peaches and avocados for optimal texture and flavor balance.
- Create uniform small cubes of peaches and avocados using a sharp knife, maintaining consistent bite-sized pieces.
- Strip fresh corn kernels directly from the cob using a sharp blade, catching each kernel carefully to preserve its natural sweetness.
- Mince red onion, jalapeno, and fresh cilantro into delicate, fine pieces to distribute flavor evenly throughout the salsa.
- Transfer all chopped ingredients into a spacious mixing bowl, ensuring enough room for gentle mixing without crushing delicate components.
- Drizzle freshly squeezed lime juice over the mixture, providing a vibrant citrus undertone that enhances the salsa’s overall brightness.
- Sprinkle kosher salt and cracked black pepper across the ingredients, adjusting seasoning to personal taste preferences.
- Carefully fold ingredients together using a soft turning motion, preventing avocado from becoming mushy while thoroughly combining flavors.
- For optimal taste, refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow ingredients to marinate and flavors to meld together.
- Serve chilled as a refreshing accompaniment to grilled proteins, tortilla chips, or as a vibrant side dish.
Notes
- Select perfectly ripe peaches and avocados for the best flavor balance, avoiding overly soft or underripe fruits.
- Dice ingredients uniformly to ensure each bite has a consistent texture and visual appeal.
- Use fresh corn kernels directly cut from the cob for maximum sweetness and crunch compared to frozen or canned alternatives.
- Adjust jalapeno quantity based on personal heat tolerance, removing seeds for milder salsa or keeping them for extra spiciness.
