For the walnut meat

  1. Pulse the walnuts in a food processor until finely crumbled, four or five times (be careful not to over pulse!).

  2. Transfer paprika, chili, and cumin into a saucepan over medium heat and toast for 30 seconds, stirring often. Add walnuts and salt and toss. Add water and lime juice and stir until completely coated. Remove from heat and set aside.

For the peach salsa

  1. Add all salsa ingredients into a bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
