Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- Combine nectarine, bell pepper, onions, jalapeño pepper, and cilantro in a medium bowl. Stir in lime juice, olive oil, salt, and cayenne pepper. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate to let flavors develop, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Stir in black pepper before serving. Add a pinch more salt if needed.
- You can use any stone fruit in this salsa, but nectarines are my favorite.
- I like to use slightly firm nectarines because I prefer their texture, and they’re usually sweet enough.
Reviews
This was a hit at our party with chips. We also substituted the nectarine with mango and used it as a side for our salmon.
So flavourful, fresh & delicious. Thank you, as always, Chef John!
Delicious on salmon, chicken and pork! The nectarine salsa got rave reviews from everyone who tried it!
Great, fresh addition to fish, chicken or as a change up with tortilla chips. Added a mango and peach for more flavor, touch of honey (tsp.), half the oil and extra jalapeno for a nice zing. Cayenne pepper is a must as well. Will make again!
I added a plumcot to it and it was absolutely delicious .will definitely make this alot more!
Excellent salsa very tasty. This paired with the Moist Pork Chop recipe was the best.
Rave reviews from guests at a recent party. Only problem we had? Everyone overloaded their scoop chips and we ran out of salsa
We have tons of peppers this year. I used one of every color. Excellent presentation. My Father in Law wants me to make a ton and can it. I don’t know how, yet. I want to keep the texture and the super fresh taste.
I used pineapple instead of nectarines. Yummy.
I love this salsa. The sweet-spicy flavors are a nice change from tomato salsas and it’s good on grilled meats. My daughter and her teenage friends scarf it up. I can’t make enough! Thanks Chef.
A nice easy way to dress up simply prepared fish.
Every time I make this dish the flavor just gets better to new combinations I add to. A repeat always.
yummy!
I used mango instead of the nectarine . I used all of the other ingredients, however precise measurements were not used. It turned out to be a great hit among my group. I also let it sit overnight before having it, mixing it several times throughout that time. I would be willing to make this again. I liked the kick it had. It had been a while since I had prepared things of this nature, and it was nice that this turned out so well.
I usually love Chef John’s recipes, but I was disappointed with the nectarine salsa. It seemed rather bland. I think it needs other fruit such as mangoes and pineapples to pep it up.
Refreshing, not too sweet, bit of a kick. – I think I over-pinched the cayenne but I like it hot. Great way to enjoy tasty farmer.s market fruit and veggies. Easy to make.
We really enjoyed this recipe … having most of the ingredients from our garden. thank you for yet another great tasting recipe that will be made a lot – one of our new fav’s
Will make it again. I did not have jalapeño so I added a green pepper and crushed chilly pepper for extra spiciness
Delicious! I doubled the recipe, using one nectarine and one peach. Also, used a serrano pepper instead of jalepeno. My family loved it served with our homemade pupusa.
Another great recipe! Thanks Chef John! Made to exact-family loved it.
I made this as per the recipe, except I misread the red peppers and put in red onions. Once I saw my mistake, I put in red peppers. Still very good!
