Summer is such a fun time marking weddings, graduations, holidays, Father’s Day — lots of excuses to entertain and be with those you care about!
Today I’m sharing my go-to recipe for summer parties: blueberry salsa. I first spotted it in Southern Living years ago and it was revived in the July 2010 issue. We make this several times a summer, even if we’re just grilling out or headed to the pool.
Don’t you love a recipe that starts with lots of fresh goodies?
And here’s the low-down for this tasty treat…
Blueberry Salsa
2 cups fresh blueberries, coarsely chopped
1 cup whole fresh blueberries
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (or lime juice)
3 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
2 jalepeno peppers, seeded and minced
1/2 cup finely chopped sweet onion
1/3 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 tsp kosher salt
Toss together all ingredients in a large bowl. Serve immediately or cover and chill up to 8 hours.**
**I prefer this chilled, when all the flavors have had time to mingle!
I’ve modified this slightly, as my crew doesn’t care for bell peppers, so I often substitute a chopped tomato.
Serve it with tortilla chips or pita chips or as a side to fish or chicken.
Looks delish, no??
