Grilled Chipotle Peach Salsa
Sweet and spicy Grilled Chipotle Peach Salsa, perfect for dipping!
Here starts the true confessions segment… There are foods I make from scratch and foods I buy pre-made.
I never make sushi, I always buy it. I know, I know… It’s easy to make. Yet that doesn’t stop me from wanting someone else to roll it for me.
MY OTHER RECIPESI almost never make ribs. Takeout ribs from our favorite local barbecue joint are so darn good!
I do not make my own salty crackers, graham crackers, or animal crackers. Although I’m very impressed by people who do. I have favorite boxed brands, and just don’t have the time required.
I never ever roast a chicken. Grocery store rotisserie chickens all the way, baby.
Turkey? Yes.
Quail? Yes.
Chicken? No.
Whew! Now that that’s over, there are things others buy pre-made that I try my best to always make from scratch. I guess we all have our foods we’re particular about.
- Stock
- Jam
- Bread
- Pies
- SALSA!
This time of year, when there is fresh produce in-season everywhere I look, I’ve got to make the most of it.
Grilled Chipotle Peach Salsa is the perfect place to start. It’s a dip, it’s a sauce, heck who am I kidding… I eat it right out of the jar with a spoon.
Grilling peaches releases their natural sweetness and adds a smokey essence. Grilled peaches are amazing on there own, but combined with charred garden veggies and spicy heat, they really shine.
The trick to perfect grilled peaches is to use firm, yet ripe peaches. Grill them just long enough to create char marks and loosen up the juices. You do not want them to get mushy.
The same principle goes for the peppers and shallots. The char marks on the grilled peaches, shallots and peppers add flavor and visual appeal.
Grilled Chipotle Peach Salsa mingles sweet poppy notes, spice, and herbs together, making simple summertime dishes sing!
Try Grilled Chipotle Peach Salsa over protein like grilled chicken, fish, or steak. Use it as a topper for smooth creamy soups. Or on a cheese board with ripe creamy cheese… Heaven.
Grilled Peach Chipotle Salsa gives common garden fair a little summertime Va-va-VOOM!

This is fantastic! Just what I wanted to see. Got a whole lot of peaches yesterday with chutney in mind but somewhere I’m going to try this too.
Great lists of what you do and do not make from scratch. And I certainly agree with you about salsa. Yours is SO enticing….love that the peaches are grilled. Wonderful, Sommer!!!
What a delicacy! This looks so much better then any salsa I have ever seen!
I love fruit salsas and this sounds delicious. Love the addition of chipotle. We won’t have Colorado peaches for another 6 weeks and this is be on the list of things to make once they hit the markets.
Gorgeous!!!
The color of this is gorgeous! The spicy-sweet combination of this would be perfect on top of fish or chicken.
This is beautiful. I think I shall now shut up and salsa – the Grilled Peach Chipotle type – although it looks so fabulous that I’ll probably burst into spontaneous dance having tasted it. :)
wow that’s a totally summery and vibrant salsa! I just love it!
our peppers haven’t started producing yet, and I refuse to give an arm and a leg for them, but I did just buy some organic peaches, so I’m going to take your cue & roast some to add some panache to a store-bought salsa. thanks for the idea, Spicy, and wish me luck!!
Your Peach Salsa is absolutely beautiful.
Heck, if it’s done better, or just as good, bought boxed, I’m all for curbing time, but man, please send me a Jar of this via international air express!
So deliciously beautiful! I have grilled peaches for dessert, but now I know something else I can do with them. Thanks!
This is great and I like the colors!
Awesome….thank goodness you came out and confessed…now I don’t feel so bad about not roasting my own chicken… or making my own sushi… or using ready made pizza dough….or… ;))
The salsa sounds great… I love grilled peaches so I can only imagine how tasty this is!
I am so with you on the salty crackers, graham crackers, animal crackers and cheese. I do however love a roasted chicken and don’t think the store bought ones are as good. Never done turkey or quail though! This salsa looks awesome! Happy 4th!
Hot mama, that looks delicious! I could definitely rock that at a weekend grill party :)
Sommer, what a perfect fruit salsa! I love all of your admissions on what you make and do not make, there are just not enough hours in the day to make everything….and I honestly don’t think I would ever want to make my own crackers….but for those that do, I am in awe!
I have to try grilling the peaches next time I make a fruit salsa!
This is the perfect summer salsa! This is a definate must make!
Have to confess, I never make my own salsa. But peaches are piling up on the counter as we speak!
You have a way with the grill, lady, love the marks on the peaches! :)
We just made some amazing mango salsa tonight and this looks equally as good! Thank you for sharing with me, my dear friend. You brought a smile to my face. I hope you had a lovely 4th of July. Hugs from Austin!
Grilled peaches are the best! I’m loving this salsa.
This sounds so delicious and summery! Yum.
I hope you had a wonderful Fourth…
I agree with never making sush! I leave that to the experts who present gorgeous plates of sushi rolls adorned with artfully cut veggies and orchids lining my plate! It’s a whole eating experience that I have no desire to compete with or even try!! But for salsa, yes, of course, I’m all about the freshness and combining the flavors I like. This is a great recipe; so vibrant and healthy looking!!
Your confessions cracked me up! And this salsa looks amazing…can’t wait to try it!
Grilling those peaches first is such a fantastic idea. That salsa has my mouth watering!
Wow does that look fantastic. I cannot wait to try it. I am posting an awesome salsa recipe this week too. Check it out on Thursday.
Oh, love this Sommer! It looks amazing and I can just imagine how well peaches and chipotle go together.
I have to admit that I’ve never grilled a peach- something new that I want to try!
I love your salsa, it’s so pretty in the bowl;-)
Sommer I love this salsa!! I have a huge bowl of peaches on my counter begging to be grilled! love the festive bowl!

I just love peachy toppings. My mom makes a fabulous Summer Peach Relish that she slathers on Bourbon & Molasses-marinated Steak It’s to-die-for.
This salsa sounds sensational. I’ve made a fruit salsa using kiwi before, which sort of reminded me of food in Miami.
It’s funny reading about the things that you never make and that you always do. I’m impressed that you make all your own jams and breads. We race through that stuff, so I’d be in the kitchen all the time!
This looks amazing! I stumbled onto your blog today and I am loving it. I just subscribed. :) My won’t buy and always buy list is almost identical to yours. Although, making salsa is not on mine at all. I’m going to try it this year though.

This looks a-m-a-z-i-n-g! I was just thinking the other day that I need to make some fruit salsa this weekend actually…I was thinking mango or pineapple, but you’ve changed my mind! Peach it is!!!
The combination of flavours in this recipe is brilliant. The photograph in the dish you chose is stunning!
What a healthy burst of lush summer! I cannot wait to make this. Fresh peaches will be in season in about a week here… well, from BC.

PS – and you must roast a chicken…. an organic, free range, beautiful chicken. You will be shocked at the difference in flavour.

Peaches grilled are one of my favorite summer foods! We make this thickened balsamic reduction stuff on the stove to pour on them, and heaven is achieved. :) I did a little happy dance in my chair because this not only sounds delicious, but there are not tomatoes in sight! I am allergic to those little red balls and cannot have most salsas.
Thanks for the fun recipe!
What a great salsa, I’m ready to start dipping!
This grilled chipotle peach salsa absolutely something new for me! Looks yummy! I’m also gonna pin this post on my Pinterest board my followers will love it. Thx for sharing recipe Sommer, i definitely add it to my cookbook!
