Grilled Chicken and Cherry Salsa

Well, y'all, it's officially summertime in New Orleans.  When it's 101 degrees outside and at least 80% humidity, I like foods that are fresh, crisp, and can retain their cool flavors in the face of positively inhumane heat.

Yesterday, I turned to a recipe I found on Pinterest (withhold judgment till you've actually tried it!)  This is my first time cooking from Pinterest, and I was actually really pleased.  This recipe uses fresh berries and herbs to make a slightly spicy but refreshing salsa, and as the website touts, it's ready in 20 minutes!

I mixed roughly chopped cherries, fresh blueberries, minced red onion, lemon juice, fresh basil, fresh mint, minced jalapeno, balsamic vinegar, honey, and a dash of salt in a small bowl and let it marinate while I grilled the chicken.

Summery colors! 

 I brushed both sides of the chicken breasts with olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper, then grilled for a couple of minutes per side in a skillet on the stovetop.

The only thing that could have made this better  would be cooking on an actual grill!  

 The whole meal came together so quickly, and the flavors were really nice together.  Plus I had leftovers to bring to work today!  And I've got a fresh mango back home that I'm going to add to the rest of the salsa to give it even more flavor.  Bon appetit :)
