My review
Chef John's Nectarine Salsa
Chef John
"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."

Prep
-
Ready In
- 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.
Footnotes
- Chef's 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.
- Tip
- Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.

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.

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.

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.

Will make it again. I did not have jalapeño so I added a green pepper and crushed chilly pepper for extra spiciness

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!

This is great addition to a warm meal, other salads, and a bruschetta snack, with a cuppa of earl grey tea ;) The Corriander makes for a flavoursome Asianish aroma..
