Stone-Fruit Salsa

The Washington Post, July 2, 2008

$10 Picnic for Two

  • Course: Condiment
  • Features: Fast

Summary:

This unique salsa makes the most of seasonal produce that is at its peak flavor and can often be found at sale prices. It is best to use medium-ripe fruit that is juicy but can easily be diced into uniform small pieces.

The salsa can be made up to 2 days in advance but is best enjoyed the day it is prepared, served chilled. Try it with toasted tortilla chips.

2 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium peach, pitted but not peeled
  • 1 medium nectarine, pitted but not peeled
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • Juice and finely grated zest of 1 large lime (1/8 teaspoon zest and 2 teaspoons of juice)
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Cut the peach, nectarine and onion into 1/4-inch dice; place in a medium bowl. Add the lime juice and zest, stirring to combine, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill until ready to serve.
