There’s nothing better than a fresh fruit salsa. It’s the perfect touch to brighten up a meal, salad, or pair with a bag of chips!
Especially when that salsa is a combo of sweet juicy peaches, refreshing cucumber, and spicy jalapeño (seriously, it’s a dream combo!)
Fresh fruit salsas are typically expensive in stores – but making them at home is surprisingly easy and cheap to do – let me show you how!
Ingredients for Peach Cucumber Salsa:
To make this peach cucumber salsa you’ll need:
- peaches
- cucumber (I prefer seedless)
- onion
- jalapeño
- olive oil
- lime juice
- salt/pepper
- cilantro
There are a few substitutions below in case you don’t have all the ingredients on hand!
However… the most important part about making peach salsa is obviously the chips. What’s the point of a good salsa if you don’t have delicious chips to dig in with?!
I’ve struggled to find a healthier chip that not only tastes good/has great ingredients but can withstand dipping. So many chips crumble the second you try to load them up with something delicious (like salsa!) Example below:
The Real Coconut’s Chips hold up to all of those standards!
Beyond being made with great ingredients and being super sturdy, The Real Coconut is a totally sustainable food source – the coconuts used to make the chips grow without the need for pesticides or irrigation – making this a low waste product that’s great for the Earth!

How to make Peach Cucumber Salsa:
Making peach cucumber salsa is pretty easy to do!
- Chop all ingredients
- Add to a bowl.
- Stir together!
That’s ALL you have to do. Chopping everything is the most difficult part (but I use a food processor for the onions to speed it up a bit!)
Tips for making the best Peach Cucumber Salsa
- Make sure to cut in small pieces – You need your produce to be cut in small pieces to be able to scoop this up with those yummy chips! Do your best to dice your fruits/veggies in small tiny squares.
- Allow the salsa to sit before serving– This salsa is fine to eat as soon as you make it, but it’s even better if you let it sit for about an hour in the fridge + allow the flavors to meld together!
- Wash your hands thoroughly after making it– Especially after cutting the jalapeño! It seems like a silly thing to note, but you have to be careful when cooking with them!
Substitutions for this peach salsa recipe:
Jalapeño– You can omit the jalapeño to cut back on spice
Cilantro– I know that not everyone loves cilantro – if you’re not a fam, omit it!
Fruit– If you don’t have peaches on hand, pineapple, mango or every strawberries will go well in this recipe!
Can you use canned peaches? I haven’t tried this recipe with canned peaches but I think it would work. It will not be as fresh and yummy without it!
Avocado: Chopped avocado or cucumber would be delicious in this recipe!
Oil: Avocado or vegetable oil will work in this recipe
Salt: If you follow a low sodium diet, you can reduce or omit the salt
Storing Peach Salsa:
How long does this salsa last? I would recommend storing this peach salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. After 3 days, it will not be as fresh and will not taste as good.
Freezing: We do not recommend freezing this salsa.
Canning: We have never canned this peach salsa. We would recommend serving it fresh!
How to Serve Peach Cucumber Salsa:
My favorite way to eat this salsa is simply with a bag of The Real Coconut Chips, but it’s great with other meals like these!
- Tacos – Use my Healthy Taco Seasoning or Taco Bake!
- Chicken Lettuce Wraps
- A Skinny Margarita

Another recipe that deserves 100 stars! This is my favorite go to summer snack. I make it at least once every week to 2 weeks. I bring it to parties. It is AMAZING!
Thank you so much! It really is the perfect summer appetizer 🙂
I made this yesterday. Delicious! I had to use frozen peaches (thawed and drained), so after tasting it, I added about a 1/2 tsp of Demerara sugar, as the peaches were kind of blah. Cant wait until I can use fresh local peaches this coming summer! I also added just a pinch of Chipotle Powder for a lil’ smokey kick.
Thank you so much for the lovely recipe! I am looking forward to trying more from your site!
That sounds delicious!! I’m so glad you liked it, Cheri! It’s great with fresh peaches. This Pineapple Mango Salsa is another one of our favs – you should try that next!!
This salsa is delicious + so refreshing. Saw it on Instagram + had to try – it’s awesome!
So glad you like it, Roxanne! It’s one of our favorite snacks!
