Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium nectarines
- 1.5 cups corn kernels
- 1 medium jalapeño
- 1 small red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a dry skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Add the corn kernels to the pan and roast them for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly charred. Remove from heat and let cool.
Dice the nectarines into small, bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on for added texture and color.
Finely dice the red bell pepper and jalapeño. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds and membrane from the jalapeño before dicing.
Finely chop the red onion and cilantro.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted corn, diced nectarines, red bell pepper, jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salsa ingredients and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, lime juice, or honey as preferred.
Refrigerate the salsa for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
