Grilled Chipotle Peach Salsa
Grilled Chipotle Peach Salsa Recipe – A fresh spicy-sweet fruit salsa recipe perfect for dipping with chips. Spoon peach salsa over fish or chicken for a perky topping!
Tasty Fruit Appetizer
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.
I 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 almost never roast a chicken. Grocery store rotisserie chickens all the way, baby.
Turkey? Yes.
Quail? Yes.
Chicken? No.
Fresh Peach Salsa Recipe
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.
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 release their natural sweetness and add a smoky essence. Grilled peaches are amazing on their own, but combined with charred garden veggies and spicy heat, they really shine.
How To Make This Easy Peach Salsa
Ingredients
- 6 firm, ripe peaches
- 2 shallots, peeled
- 1 red bell pepper, seeds removed
- 2 teaspoons oil
- 1 clove garlic (large), minced
- 1-2 chipotle peppers, canned in adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 lime
- 1 tablespoons honey, if needed
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium. Cut each peach into 4 thick slices. Cut the shallots in half and the pepper in quarters. Lay the peaches, shallots, and peppers on a baking sheet and toss with a little oil.
Carefully place the peaches, shallots, and peppers on the grill. Grill the peaches 1-2 minutes per side until nice grill marks have formed, but the peaches are still firm. Grill the shallots and pepper for 2-4 minutes per side. Remove and cool.
Chop the peaches, shallots, and peppers into small 1/4-inch chunks and place them in a bowl.
Mince the chipotle peppers, then add them to the bowl along with the minced garlic, cilantro, the juice of 1 lime, and honey.
Mix well and salt and pepper to taste. For a “saucier” salsa, puree half the peaches with the lime juice then, mix with the rest.
Enjoy this condiment with your favorite tortilla chips or on your favorite tacos.

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 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!
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.
Sommer I love this salsa!! I have a huge bowl of peaches on my counter begging to be grilled! love the festive bowl!

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;-)
Oh, love this Sommer! It looks amazing and I can just imagine how well peaches and chipotle go together.
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.
Grilling those peaches first is such a fantastic idea. That salsa has my mouth watering!
Your confessions cracked me up! And this salsa looks amazing…can’t wait to try it!
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!!
This sounds so delicious and summery! Yum.
I hope you had a wonderful Fourth…
Grilled peaches are the best! I’m loving this salsa.
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!
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! :)
