I love salsa of all kinds, and there are quite a lot of good ones on the market. But when midsummer rolls around, there's nothing like a fresh homemade salsa using summer tomatoes. Homemade salsa tends to get watery from the tomatoes' juices, but I discovered that using cherry (or grape) tomatoes helps mitigate that. And there's no pre-chopping — just toss them into the food processor whole. Adding a ripe peach gives the salsa a perfect sweet twist.
Place the tomatoes in the bowl of a food processor and pulse on and off until coarsely chopped.
Add the remaining ingredients and pulse on and off a few times. This is nice with a lot of texture, but if you'd like it smoother, process as you'd like, but don't liquify!
Serve at once with chips or as an accompaniment to Southwestern-style meals.
