Chef’s Tips:

  1. This salsa is the perfect topping for grilled chicken or fish.
  2. It’s also great when served as a dip for chips.
  3. Use a mild peach vinegar for an extra boost of flavor.
  4. The hot pepper controls the heat of the salsa, so use less (or switch in a bell pepper) for a milder salsa. You can also increase the amount of spice with a larger serving of diced hot peppers.
