Nectarine and Raspberry Salsa

A vibrant and refreshing salsa, this recipe unites the succulent sweetness of ripe nectarines with the tangy burst of fresh raspberries. It's a perfect symphony of flavors that encapsulates the essence of summer. This salsa has roots in Mexican cuisine, but with a fruity twist. It pairs exceptionally with grilled chicken, fish, or just as a delightful dip with tortilla chips.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Jalapeno pepper (1, finely chopped)
  • Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground)
  • Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Honey (2 tablespoons)
  • Lime juice (3 tablespoons, freshly squeezed)
  • Fresh cilantro (1/4 cup, finely chopped)
  • Red onion (1/2 cup, finely chopped)
  • Raspberries (1 cup)
  • Nectarines (2 cups, pitted and diced)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the diced nectarines, raspberries, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno pepper. This forms the base of your salsa.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create your dressing.
  3. Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss to combine. Be careful not to crush the raspberries while mixing.
  4. Refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together, creating a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy notes.
  5. Serve your salsa chilled. Enjoy it with tortilla chips, or use it as a vibrant topping for grilled chicken or fish. The choice is yours!
