🍑 My Mom’s Nectarine Salsa
This recipe came from my mom and it has become one of my favorite summer staples. It is fresh, colorful, ridiculously easy to make, and somehow disappears every single time I serve it.
It is perfect with tortilla chips, spooned over grilled chicken, piled onto fish tacos, or served alongside almost anything coming off the grill.
Ingredients
🍑 2 ripe nectarines, diced
🧅 2 tablespoons very finely diced red onion
🌶️ ½ jalapeño, very finely diced (remove seeds for less heat)
🌿 ¼ cup finely chopped cilantro
🍶 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
🧂 A generous pinch of salt
Mix everything together and let it sit for about 15 to 30 minutes so the flavors can come together.
The best part is that nothing has to be exact. Add more jalapeño if you like heat. More vinegar if you like a little extra tang. Double or triple the recipe for a crowd.

Sometimes the healthiest recipes are also the simplest. Fresh ingredients, a few minutes of prep, and you have something everyone will ask you to make again.
