Avocado Nectarine Salsa

Today was the first day in a long time that the weather here in Saint Louis was amazing.  It cooled down to mid 60's so it was a perfect night to grill.  Moe wasn't getting off work until around 7 so I decided to make a fruit salsa to eat while we were sitting outside and waiting for the other food to be done.  I love peach salsa but have never tried to make it before.  I had tons of nectarines so decided to give it a whirl.  I figured how can you go wrong with tons of cilantro, onion, and fruit!

3 nectarines (or peaches)

1/2 small onion

1 key lime

fresh cilantro (approx. 1/4 cup)

1/8 tsp cumin

1/2 avocado

chipotle ground pepper (optional)

freshly ground pepper / salt to taste

Finely dice the onion.  Chop the fresh cilantro and add to a mixing bowl along with the onion. 

Slice the nectarines (or peaches) into small cubes and add to the mixing bowl. 

Slice the avocado into long slices and then cut into thirds. 

Add to mixing bowl.  Cut lime in half and squeeze juice into mixing bowl careful not to let any seeds fall into mixture.  Add cumin and ground chipotle pepper and mix everything together.  Add freshly ground salt and pepper to taste and then mix again.  Chill in fridge for 15 minutes to let flavors meld. Serve with tortilla chips.
