This recipe is using all of the peak ingredients right now and will basically enhance anything you make.
I have been getting the peaches at Trader Joes (which seem to be particularly good lately?!) and then some sweet corn from the grocery store. Also- my favorite cherry tomatoes are the little sweet orange variety. (Does anyone know what those are called?)
I gotta get a plant and grow them- since I spend all summer buying them by the pint! And of course fresh chili peppers which are surprisingly easy to get to grow fro the plant (even here in Seattle).
When you combine all of this stuff (the corn is raw by the way- sweeter that way!) with some fresh green onion and cilantro, you have the most wonderful salad/topping for almost anything you could imagine. For an appetizer, it could go out with tortilla chips and guacamole. If you wanted to go the veggie route, I would literally just spoon this over a bed of arugula and maybe add some avocado chunks. Otherwise you could serve this as a side dish with BBQ chicken or on the top of grilled fish (really any kind!) or with grilled steak or pork chops. I could also see folding in some grilled shrimp. Oh yum. I made this on Fathers Day with grilled Halibut and it was my dads favorite dish of the night!
Basically, this is an incredibly versatile condiment that also happens to be really beautiful and easy to make. It also lasts well in the fridge for a few days, so feel free to make ahead- just adjust the seasonings (binegar and salt) before serving!

Just posted some peach and corn salsa last week and it’s been dinner all summer. Yes, dinner, because I go to town on it with a fork or spoon and would do that with yours. Looks INCREDIBLE! Pinned!
Oh man, definitely need this in my life. It looks so good!
Oh wow, Heather. I definitely need this. Seems like it would make a great dip, taco topping, anything!
Can’t wait to try this! Love all of these summer flavors!!
LOVE this salsa!
I’d be tempted to eat this salsa straight. So beautiful. Pinned 🙂
I do a similar version of this with mango instead of the peach (we rarely get good peaches here in the Northeast) and add some black beans. The black beans make it more substantial yet still keep it vegan.
Thank heaven someone else is extolling the virtues of raw sweet corn. I cannot for the life of me figure out why anyone would want to cook it when it is fresh, sweet and delicious!
This salsa sounds like such a great way to enjoy all the best fruits (& veg) or summer! The little orange cherry tomatoes are called sungolds, and in my experience they’re super easy to grow & abundantly productive. Yay!
Love the peaches and corn in this sweet salsa! I need this on my party table!
Love these fresh summer flavors!
This salsa looks like it packs a punch! I’m loving the raw version.
Such a pretty salsa, I could eat the entire bowl in one sitting!
I made this salad for a birthday party to rave reviews. It’s a keeper. The taste was fantastic. So nice & fresh with a little bit of a kick. Thanks for the recipe.
Love the combination and especially love peaches! Pinned!
Hi! Wondering what spices I can substitute for the jalepeno and red chili to make this recipe a bit more toddler friendly?
Hi Laura! I would sub out chopped red bell pepper!
This looks like the perfect summer salsa!
Fyi, the ingredient list doesn’t list the Cherry Tomatoes!
This looks awesome! Thank you for sharing. I’ve “pinned” it. I hope to make it this summer, still. 🙂
