Method
 

Make the peach salsa
  1. Dice the peaches and combine them in a bowl with the red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
  2. Stir in the lime juice, honey, and salt until the salsa looks evenly coated and glossy.
  3. Taste the salsa and adjust sweetness and heat by adding a little more honey or jalapeño as needed.

  2. Serve the chilled peach salsa with tortilla chips or spoon it over grilled chicken.

Notes

Pro tip: for the best texture, use just-ripe but slightly firm peaches so they stay chunky after chilling. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; the flavor improves overnight. Freezing is not recommended due to peach texture changes. Dietary swap: use maple syrup instead of honey for a simple vegan alternative.
