Nectarine salsa combines the sweetness of fruit and a touch of saltiness with the heat of jalapeno. I keep a tupperware of salsa in the fridge so that on hurried mornings I can whip up some scrambled eggs, spoon them into a warm tortilla, then top them with cheese and salsa before wrapping it all up. No fuss, but lots of colorful flavor. You can substitute peach or mango for the nectarine if you like!
