This muy fuerte salsa is tangy and spicy, and it looks like delicious, edible confetti (which it sort of is). The quick-pickled red onions add enough acid to keep you from shoveling chips in your mouth after a bite of serrano chile, and fresh peach adds natural sweetness. As this is a pretty chunky salsa with little to no liquid, use it as a chip dip or in dishes that don't need extra moisture, like braised meats and fried fish.

If serranos are a bit too spicy for you, you can easily swap out for jalapeños, with or without seeds to adjust the heat.

Mix together peaches and peppers and sprinkle very lightly with salt. Drain onions and fold in; add small amount pickling liquid, if desired.
