  2. Use a spoon to carefully remove the ribs and seeds, then mince the remaining pepper.
  3. Add the minced jalapeño to the salsa mixture.
Mixing the Ingredients

  2. Add the chopped cilantro, kosher salt, chili powder, and cumin.
  3. Toss everything together gently until well combined.
Chilling the Salsa

Notes

To keep the peaches from browning, add lime juice immediately after cutting. For a sweeter salsa, use slightly overripe peaches. Adjust the heat level by modifying the amount of jalapeño or cayenne to your liking.
