A homemade fresh fruit and veggie salsa is a great way to use up your bounty of produce from your summer garden. This salsa is very versatile so feel free to add fresh mint, parsley, basil, minced bell pepper, and any types of tomatoes.

For this recipe tomatoes take a backseat to seasonal peaches that are first grilled, sealing in deep grilled flavor. Peaches are a good source of vitamin C, known for its skin-supporting benefits like reducing hyperpigmentation and fighting damage from the sun and free radicals. No need to remove the fiber-rich skin of the peaches after grilling.
Tomatoes contain a unique antioxidant called lycopene. Heirloom, Roma, and Campari tomatoes are all excellent for this salsa.
Jalapeño adds a spicy kick of heat to the salsa while onion and cilantro and herb flavor that salsa is known for. A little bit of cumin adds a smoky, earthy flavor to the salsa that complements the fruity peaches. You can also grill your jalapeno before chopping and adding it to the salsa for a more smoky flavor.
This salsa is perfect served with crunchy tortilla chips, but it can also be served with your favorite grilled fish or chicken as part of a summer entree. This salsa is best enjoyed the same day for the freshest flavor.
