Grilling fresh peaches for this healthy salsa recipe is key to achieving a mellow caramelized flavor. This fruit salsa is brilliant spooned over grilled chicken, but just as delicious served alongside a basket of tortilla chips.

Prep/Cook Time: 30 Minutes, Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 1 pound peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into ½-inch-thick slices
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped, or more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Preheat grill to, medium.
  2. Brush peach halves and onion slices with oil. Grill, turning once until the peaches are marked and starting to soften 6 to 7 minutes, and the onions are marked and tender, 10 to 11 minutes. Transfer to a clean cutting board and let cool for 10 minutes.
  3. Chop the peaches and onions; transfer to a bowl. Stir in jalapeño, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice and salt. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 2 days.
