This fresh fruit salsa is fantastic and pairs perfectly with grilled chicken kabobs– double the quantity and use extra for a dip. Try this recipe with a mixture of plums and nectarines for an extra colorful salsa. Thread the chicken on the skewers so there’s a little bit of space between each chunk. That will allow the heat to circulate around the kebabs so the chicken will cook evenly.
