Forks Over Knives

  • Print/save recipe

This sweet-and-savory fruit salsa is a treat for the eyes. Its mildly spicy flavor pairs perfectly with crisp chips and cucumber slices, but it’s also delicious as a salad topper. For best results, choose nectarines with pale yellow (not green) undertones and a sweet fragrance.

  1. Great advice I would definitely try it. Thank you very much. Great advice.

  2. Diabetic friendly. The servings is over 15 gr of carbs per serving. That is high for diabetics
    Sub could be
    Sugar free syrup
    Low carb chips
    No cilantro
    I love the recipe otherwise

  3. Is this good for diabrtics. The carb intake is one plus the serving for diabetics. A serving of carbs -15
    Thanks. Maybe I can use low-carb chips
    For the difference in carbs. No cilantro
    Sugar free syrup
    ❤️

  4. I have not made any changes in my diet since my last visit with you.

  5. This is wonderful as a salsa and a taco filling. One of my favorite FOK recipes.
