Begin by washing and peeling the ripe peaches, then dice them into small, even pieces.

Next, chop a fresh tomato, finely mince a jalapeño (removing the seeds for less heat), and finely chop a small red onion.

Roughly chop a handful of fresh cilantro to add to the mix.

In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the diced peaches with the chopped tomato, red onion, minced jalapeño, and cilantro.

Pour in the freshly squeezed lime juice and mix carefully to distribute evenly while keeping the peaches intact.

Sprinkle salt and pepper over the mixture, stir gently, and adjust the seasoning to your taste.

Cover and refrigerate the salsa for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.

After chilling, give it a quick stir, garnish with cilantro leaves, and serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for grilled meats or tacos.
