Salsa and fruit lovers unite! Meet your new favorite salsa: Blueberry Salsa. The contrast between the sweet blueberries and the savouriness of the veggies makes it a great appetizer with tortilla chips.

Now, I know what you’re thinking “Blueberry salsa? Weird!”, but let’s not pretend like mango salsa, peach salsa, and pineapple salsa aren’t right there. They have always been crowd favorites, and now it’s time to give blueberries a chance!

Fresh Blueberry Salsa with jalapeños, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro, chopped and seasoned with lemon juice. An unlimited source of antioxidants that tastes incredible, best served with plenty of corn chips and a margarita. 

The making of: Fresh Blueberry Salsa

This Blueberry Salsa is a very fresh and summery salsa, that’s a nice change from the traditional version. All you need is blueberries, cherry tomatoes (I’m using a sangría medley), fresh jalapeños or pickled jalapeños, red onions, cilantro, and lemon juice. After chopping everything up, mix the ingredients together and ENJOY!

This recipe is insanely easy; the hardest part being the chopping of the vegetables. Some of the blueberries in the recipe are chopped, but for the most part, if the blueberries are small, you can leave them whole. You can also choose to add bell peppers to the mix if you wish to do so. On another note, lime juice is used in traditional salsa, but lemon juice works best when it comes to fruit salsa. 

And that’s literally it! Serve with corn chips, pita chips, plantain chips, crackers with vegan cheese, jicama sticks, quinoa, or cole slaw. 

Notes:

  • Elevate this recipe by adding chopped roasted garlic or confited garlic.
  • Feel free to use pickled jalapeños instead of fresh jalapeños, but this will make the recipe spicier. 
  • Lime juice is used in traditional salsa, but lemon juice works best when it comes to fruit salsa. 
  • Sub cilantro for parsley if desired.
