Recipe Summary Chef John's Nectarine Salsa

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.

Ingredients | Crispy Tortilla

1 cup finely diced nectarine

½ cup finely diced red bell pepper

⅓ cup finely diced onions

2 tablespoons finely diced jalapeno pepper

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

2 teaspoons olive oil

½ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

1 pinch cayenne pepper

1 pinch freshly ground black pepper

Directions

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.

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.
