Ingredients
You just need a handful of ingredients to make this easy mango peach salsa recipe. Here's what you'll need:
- Peaches: Fresh, ripe peaches bring natural sweetness and a juicy texture. Leave the skin on for ease and a little extra fiber.
- Mango: Adds a juicy, tropical flavor that balances the acidity and heat.
- Tomato: A classic salsa base ingredient! Choose a ripe, firm tomato to avoid sogginess.
- Red onion: A small one (or half of a large one) is plenty since raw onion can be strong.
- Bell pepper: Use any color! Red and orange add extra sweetness, green gives a more earthy flavor.
- Jalapeño pepper: Gives the salsa a kick. Remove the seeds and pith for a milder heat. Swap for habanero if you like it hot.
- Cilantro: Brightens the salsa and adds a fresh, herbal note.
- Lime juice: Essential for tang and balance. It also helps keep the fruit from browning.
- Kosher salt: Enhances every flavor. If using table salt, reduce the amount and adjust to taste.

How to Make Easy Peach Jalapeño Mango Salsa
- Prep: Prep the ingredients by dicing them into small, bite-sized pieces. I leave the skin on the peaches because I like the texture, but you can peel them with a vegetable peeler if you prefer. When prepping the jalapeño, slice in half and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and white pith before cutting into small cubes.
- Combine: Add all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl. Mix well and serve!
Tips for Success
- Dice everything small and evenly for the best texture and balanced flavor in every bite. This ensures you get a little bit of everything in each scoop!
- Taste and adjust as needed. Add more lime juice or salt at the end if the flavors don’t pop. A quick tweak can take the salsa from good to great.
- Use ripe but firm fruit so the salsa holds up without turning mushy. The riper the fruit, the sweeter the salsa will be—if yours isn’t super ripe, stir in a tablespoon of honey to add a bit of sweetness.
- Let it rest in the fridge for 10–15 minutes after mixing to allow the flavors to meld!
Recipe Variations
- Add avocado for a rich, creamy contrast. Stir it in gently just before serving to avoid it getting mushy.
- Use pineapple instead of mango for a tangier twist. It’s a great swap if mango isn’t in season, or if you have pineapple on hand.
- Mix in black beans or corn to make it heartier. This version is perfect as a BBQ or potluck side!
What to Serve with Peach Mango Salsa

Storage
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. It’s best fresh, as the fruit softens and releases more juice over time. Stir well before serving leftovers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Nope! The skin adds color and texture, and I personally prefer leaving the skin on. But if you prefer a smoother salsa, peel them with a vegetable peeler before removing the peel and dicing!
With jalapeño, it’s mildly spicy. I always remove the seeds for less heat. If you want it extra spicy, keep the seeds, add another jalapeño, or swap for habanero pepper if you like it extra hot!
Yes! Fresh peach mango salsa is packed with fresh fruits and vegetables, making it a naturally nutritious choice. It’s full of vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, with no added sugars or processed ingredients. Just watch the sodium content depending on how much salt you add!
