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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
