Who doesn’t love salsa? This peach salsa brings the brightness of the season to a variety of dishes — served with chips as an appetizer, a burger or taco topping, and more. We added some avocado to the salsa, but feel free to leave it out. Add some tomatoes, cucumber, or pineapple. Yes, this salsa recipe can be improvised in a number of ways … just look to your garden or your latest produce run for inspiration!
In all seriousness, this salsa can be made in less than 10 minutes. This is one where, even if you come home tired from work, you can chop these ingredients up, mix them, open a bag of chips and a bottle of wine, and relax. And, it’s so good you just may want to invite the neighbors over.
This salsa can be made without avocado, but for avocado lovers, it makes the perfect addition. Blue corn chips visually make a nice accompaniment to the peach salsa with avocado.
On a whim, we added the salsa to some burgers, already topped with pepper jack cheese and bacon, and had a stellar meal. Add some corn on the cob and a side of Watermelon Strawberry Jicama Salad and dinner is served.
Grill some burgers, add some pepper jack cheese and bacon, pile on the peach salsa with avocado, and you are set for one great summer meal!
This salsa is quick to make, so if you can multitask, consider first getting the burgers onto the grill and then prepping the salsa, stopping midway through to flip the burgers. In the time it takes to grill burgers, you can pull this off and elevate the typical “burgers for dinner” expectation!
For additional creative dishes, consider adding this Peach Salsa with Avocado to grilled chicken sandwiches, mixing it with mayonnaise and chicken for a fresh spin on chicken salad, or serving it as a topping for fish tacos, grilled flank steak, or chicken.
