- 1 ea. jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped

Sweet, Smoky, and Made for Summer
This grilled corn and peach salsa tastes like peak summer in a bowl.
Charring the corn and peaches brings out their natural sweetness while adding a little smoky depth. Toss everything together with Suave Agave, and you get a fresh salsa with the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and a little Southwestern heat.
Preparation:
- Preheat a grill over high heat.
- Remove the husks from the corn and lightly coat the ears with oil.
- Place the corn on the hot grill and cook, turning occasionally, until tender and nicely charred on all sides.
- Lightly coat the peaches with oil and grill on both sides until they develop good grill marks and begin to soften.
- Remove the corn and peaches from the grill and allow them to cool.
- Cut the corn kernels from the cob and dice the grilled peaches.
- Add the corn and peaches to a large bowl with the remaining ingredients and Suave Agave seasoning. Toss well to combine.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors come together before serving.
Pro Tip:
Give the corn and peaches enough time on the grill to develop some real char. Those caramelized edges are what give this salsa its smoky-sweet flavor instead of making it taste like a standard fresh salsa.
Make It Your Own:
- Add diced jalapeño for more heat
- Fold in avocado just before serving
- Add black beans to make it heartier
- Finish with extra lime juice and fresh cilantro
- Swap peaches for nectarines when they're in season
What To Serve It With:
Grab the tortilla chips and go to town, or spoon it over grilled chicken, fish, shrimp, or tacos. It also makes a killer topping for a summer rice bowl.
