Tips for the best California Fusion Peach Salsa
- For a milder version, remove the chilli seeds; for more heat, add them at the start so the oil picks it up.
- Read the whole method before you start and measure out the 7 ingredients first — it keeps the pace relaxed once the heat is on.
- Rest the finished dish for a few minutes before serving — it lets the flavours settle and the texture firm up.
- Taste as you go. Seasoning at the end is fine, but adjusting halfway through gives a more balanced result.
Variations
- Vegetable boost: stir in a handful of spinach, peas or diced peppers in the last few minutes of cooking.
- Mild version: halve the chilli and finish with a spoon of yoghurt or cream to soften the heat.
Serving ideas
Finish with fresh herbs and serve family-style in the middle of the table.
