That’s the beauty of this peach and mango salsa—it’s as versatile as it is delicious! Whether you’re piling it onto crispy tortilla chips for a quick snack, spooning it over juicy baked coconut-crusted salmon, or adding a fresh, zesty twist to fish tacos, it just works. And since it’s naturally sweet, even the pickiest eaters will be on board. Just a little tip—if you’re serving it to younger kids, deseed the chilies to keep things mild while still packing in all that bright, tropical flavor!
📝 Recipe Ingredients
- Mango: Choose a nice, ripe mango that is still firm to the touch. I’ve included a video to show you how to peel and dice a mango easily. 👇
- Peaches: The same goes for peaches—we need them to be sweet and ripe but still a bit firm. You can easily substitute nectarines for peaches.
- Red bell pepper: Bell peppers add some crunch to the salsa. You can also use yellow or green capsicum if you prefer. Yes, we call bell peppers capsicum. 🇦🇺
- Red onion: Make sure to dice the onion very finely so kids will eat it too. When marinated in lime and fruit juice, the onion loses its bitterness, making it perfect for kids as well. If in doubt don’t use it 😊
- Green jalapeño chili: Chili is kind of essential to Mexican recipes, but if you have a toddler at the table, it might be a good idea to leave it out or set aside a small portion without chili.
- Lime: Lime is the best fit for this salsa recipe, but you could use lemon zest and juice if limes are hard to find.
- Cilantro: Fresh cilantro leaves—what we call coriander in Australia! 😊
