About this Recipe
In this recipe there are a variety of flavors; fruity, sweet, spicy, grilled…plus the savory flavors of red onion, jalapeno and cilantro.
This colorful salsa is made with grilled nectarines.
To me, when grilled, the nectarines taste a bit sweeter and softer.
Let’s check out the ingredients.
Nectarines, blueberries, red onion, jalapeno peppers, cilantro, lime, salt, and agave nectar (or honey)
HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.
Preparation
Heat the barbecue grill on medium heat.
Nectarines
With the skin still on the nectarines…
…cut the fruit from each side of the seed in large pieces.
Skewer the pieces of nectarines length-wise.
Agave Nectar (or Honey)
Drizzle agave nectar (or honey) on the nectarines.
Using a cooking brush, spread the nectar on all sides of the nectarines.
Grill
Grill the nectarines until they have grill marks on each side (about 5 minutes on each side).
Remove from the grill…
Cool
…and set aside to cool.
For the Salsa
In a medium size bowl,
…add chopped onions.
Just before chopping the jalapenos, an easy way to get rid of the seeds is to cut off the sides of the pepper first so that the seed area in the middle is completely separate like in the picture above.
Then just discard the middle seed area and chop away at the rest of the pepper.
To the bowl, add chopped jalapenos…
…and…
…chopped cilantro.
Coarsely chop the nectarines in large enough pieces so that they’re not mushy…
…and add them to the bowl.
Then add the lime juice,
…salt,
and blueberries.
Gently mix the ingredients.
Add agave nectar or honey (to taste).
Gently mix in the nectar or honey.
Serve
Serve as a side dish,
…on top of fish or chicken,
…or by itself as a snack.
