Okok, I looooove salsas. I mean I looooove salsas. But kind of only (or mostly) the home made once. A salsa is such an easy thing to make that can really lift any dish. And you can make them with some many different ingredients and ways. This summer I’ve been experimenting a lot with making different salsas, and this one is for sure one of my favorites. Im a huge fan of rhubarb and wanted to use it in other ways than just for sweet purposes. I have to admit I was a bit sceptic at first, really didn’t have any high expectations when making it. But it turned out so delicious I’ve been making big batches twice a week because I use it all the time. This rhubarb and peach salsa is the perfect mix of tart crunchy rhubarb combined with the soft and sweet peach is just divine. I also added lots of cilantro, both red wine and balsamic vinegar, red onion and some fiber syrup to it. This salsa is really great to eat with everything! I love it with a spicy chicken, a fresh cod fillet or a grilled pieces of meat. Or why not just add it to your salad or top your tacos with a more fun and summery salsa?! This salsa is both vegan and sugar free.
A few tips:
- I like to slice my rhubarb in different shapes and sized to vary the texture and size a bit. But don’t make too big pieces.
- I used cilantro in this batch, but also tried it with both mint and parsley. So if you don’t like cilantro just swap it for any other herb you like, or mix a few different once.
- Red chili is optional in this salsa. I make it both with and without depending on what Im eating along with it. If I eat a light and fresh cod fillet I love adding some chili. But if I have it with a spicy chicken I skip the chili. Add it according to taste and what you’ll pair it with.
- This salsa is ready in five minutes, but I really love when it gets to sit for a while for the rhubarb and peach to really absorb all the flavors.
- This salsa is good to store in the fridge for 3-4 days.
