This no-fuss fruit salsa is the essence of summer. Charred, ripe peaches and fragrant tomatoes are tossed with garlic, fresh lime juice, cilantro and jalapeno peppers (for a little heat). It’s a slightly smoky, refreshing salsa that’s miles away from any canned version. Try this salsa as-is, with grilled chicken and fish, or use it to top my personal favorite: slabs of grilled halloumi.

Ingredients
- 3 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 3 medium tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for grilling
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat a grill or grill pan for cooking over medium-high heat. Gently toss the peaches and tomatoes with the oil until coated.
- Place on the preheated grill and cook, turning occasionally, until fruit is juicy and has charred grill lines running across, about 6 minutes total. (Depending on the size of your grill, you may need to do this in batches.) Transfer to a cutting board and let cool, 20 minutes.
- Cut the peaches and tomatoes into 1/2-inch dice, then combine with the lime juice, garlic, jalapeno, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper.
- Let stand for 15 minutes, then stir in the cilantro. Taste, season with additional salt and pepper if needed and serve.
