Easy Refreshing Blueberry Salsa Recipe


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries (chopped)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (whole)
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 2 medium jalapeño peppers (minced)
  • ⅓ cup red bell pepper (diced)
  • ¼ cup onion (chopped)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry all fresh ingredients. Chop 2 cups of blueberries, leaving 1 cup whole. Seed and mince jalapeños, dice red bell pepper, and chop onion and cilantro.
  2. In a large bowl, carefully combine chopped blueberries, whole blueberries, lemon juice, cilantro, jalapeños, red bell pepper, onion, and kosher salt. Mix gently to avoid crushing the fruit.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled with tortilla chips for dipping.

Notes

  • Choose firm, plump blueberries that haven’t started to wrinkle for the best texture and flavor
  • Remove jalapeño seeds and membranes for milder heat, or leave them in if you prefer more spice
  • Dice all vegetables to similar sizes for even distribution and professional presentation
  • Taste and adjust seasoning before serving – you might need more lemon juice or salt depending on your blueberries’ sweetness
  • Let the salsa rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to develop and meld together
