My sister made this for the neighborhood block party and I completely abandoned the main course just to eat more. Just 3 ingredients to make.

Prepare the peaches: Start with peaches that smell fragrant and give slightly when you press them. Rinse well under cool water and pat dry. Cut around the pit, twist the halves apart, remove the pit, then finely chop the peach flesh into small, chunky pieces. If you prefer, you can peel them first by slipping a paring knife under the skin, but the peel is perfectly fine to leave on.

Chop the onion: Finely chop the sweet onion so the pieces are small and blend into the salsa without overpowering the peaches. Measure out 1/3 cup and set aside. If your onion seems especially strong, you can rinse the chopped bits briefly in cool water and pat dry to soften the bite.

Mix the salsa: In a medium bowl, gently combine the chopped peaches and sweet onion. Drizzle the fresh lime juice over the top.

Season lightly (optional but recommended): Taste a small spoonful. If your peaches are very sweet, a tiny pinch of salt can help the flavors pop, but it’s not required. Stir gently to avoid mashing the fruit—you want a chunky, glistening salsa.

Chill and serve: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes to let the flavors mingle and the juices develop. Just before serving, give the salsa a gentle stir, then spoon it onto a white plate or into a shallow bowl so the juicy, colorful chunks are easy to scoop. Serve cold or lightly chilled.
