Ingredients

1 cup nectarine, finely diced
1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
1/3 cup onions, finely diced
2 tablespoons jalapeno pepper, finely diced
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon (and more to taste) salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch freshly groud black peppr
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Steps:

Combine nectarines, bell pepper, onions, jalapeno pepper, and cilantro in a bowl. Stir in lime juice, olive oil, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate to let flavors develop, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Before serving, stir in black pepper. Add a pinch more salt, if needed.
Note: This salsa will work with any stone fruit, but nectarines are my favorite. They're usually sweet, even when still a bit firm, which I prefer texturally over a perfectly ripe price of fruit. Having said that, if you do have a few peaches to use up this summer, this is something to keep in mind.

I've always loved the marvelous contrast between a hot, smoky piece of meat, and a cold, fruity salsa; and this version featuring nectarines did not disappoint. In fact, the only thing that pairs better with this fresh fruit salsa is a basket of crispy tortilla chips.
