Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

- Let it sit: Allowing the salsa to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes lets the flavors meld together beautifully.

Make Ahead and Storage
Fresh peach salsa is best made fresh, but you can prepare it up to 24 hours in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve. Note that the peaches will release some of their juice as it sits, so you may want to give it a good stir before serving.
