Recipe 2 - Fresh Peach Salsa

This recipe was really simple, but I changed quite a few of the ingredients. I chopped some green onion, one yellow pepper (instead of red. It was prettier! =D), and about three and a half peaches (one was half squishy and yuck).




I then poured in some Mango Twist Welch Juice, instead of grapefruit juice - I couldn't find a small container at the store, and put it in the refridgerator covered for about 2 1/2 hours. Then, viola! Peach Salsa!


I couldn't decide if I really liked it at first. It was sweet, which was good because I don't like spicy, but it also seemed to be missing something. I didn't add the cilantro, but I don't think that would have added much. Some girls on my hall have said they like it, and I think Tostitos with Lime helped. I think adding some lime juice would be good too. Overall though, I think it's pretty good. I'd make it again and change a few more things.

  1. Well whether it tastes great or not, the colors look AWESOME! Plus, mango is sweet, so it's alright if things turn out a little on the sweet side.
    P.S. Tostitos lime chips.....SO good!
    :]

  3. I'm with you on spicy things--sweet is the way to go. Have you ever tried mango salsa before? It's probably very similar to this recipe and delicious. Peach salsa sounds like an interesting departure from the usual tomato blah blahs...:)
