Recipe Notes
Tips and Substitutions:
- Best way to dice a peach is to cut around the pit- Place the peach on a cutting board and cut down one side. Repeat for all four sides. You will end up with 4 sliced sides. Dice from there.
- Keep Fresh Peach Salsa in a wide mouth mason jar- Keep the salsa tightly sealed in the fridge. This will keep the salsa fresh longer.
- Substitute for Roma tomato- San Marzano or Plum Tomatoes are great substitutes.
- Substitute for jalapeño Pepper- Use serrano pepper.
- Not a fan of cilantro?- Substitute for flat-leaf parsley.
