This nectarine salsa combines sweetness with heat. I've always loved the marvelous contrast between a hot, smoky piece of meat and a cold, fruity salsa, and this version featuring nectarines does not disappoint. A basket of crispy tortilla chips is the only thing that pairs better with this fresh fruit salsa. Keep it in mind if you have a few peaches to use this summer.
