Number Of Ingredients 10

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.

NECTARINE SALSA

Nectarine Salsa image

This is a variation on a nectarine salsa a local pick-your-own farm sells. They printed their recipe in the local paper a few years ago, to their detriment, since I now make my own instead of buying theirs! Jalapeno pepper is optional. Ever since the time I got some on my bare hands and couldn't wear my contact lenses for two days, I've been leery of them, and this tastes fine with or without it. Obviously it will have more of a kick with it. You can also substitute lemon juice for the lime juice. I've also used peaches or pineapple in this. My husband and I have been known to devour this in one sitting. It tastes even better if you put it in the fridge and let the flavors mingle, provided you've the patience to wait that long.
