Last week's CSA box was FULL of tomatoes! This meant that it was time to make some salsa. Sunday night, I brought my CSA goods over to my parents house and we made the following salsa to go with our fish tacos. The salsa was fruity, spicy and delicious with tortilla chips and on top of the fish.
Ingredients:
1 Nectarine
2 Tomatillos
2-4 tomatoes (depending on size)
2 cloves of garlic
1/2 onion or more to taste
1 jalapeño (remove seeds and be careful not to touch them!)
1 green pepper
1 lime
1 green pepper
1 lime
a bunch of cilantro
Salt/pepper
Chili powder
Cumin
Directions:
Fire up the grill, cut nectarine in half and grill until soft and charred. (About 5-8 minutes)
Place the tomatillo on the grill, whole for about 8 minutes
Once grilled, let cool and chop.
While that is on the grill, chop up everything else into salsa size pieces.
Place everything in a bowl.
Cut lime in half and squeeze the juice over the ingredients.
Add spices to taste
Salsa is delicious served with tortilla chips, on fish tacos, or over grilled chicken breast. If you have any leftover it should keep for about a week in the fridge.
Enjoy!

I added the leftover avocado to the salsa and served it in wraps the next day with grilled chicken, goat cheese, salad greens and lots of salsa. Excellent. My rule of thumb on proportions of chili powder to cumin is 3 to 1, but if you really like cumin, use more.
