Blueberry Salsa Recipe
There’s no denying the color scheme of blue and red with this homemade salsa. The chunked up fresh strawberries paired with the jalapenos and cilantro really do make each bite so good and delicious.
I’ve made a ton of salsas in my life, but this one is one of the best. There’s really nothing quite like scooping this up on a sweet pita chip or eating it with a spoon. The boys in our house love eating it up and it’s over and done quicker than I have a chance to dive in.

Anything that you want! But I love to use tortilla chips, toasted pita chips, or just other fruits and vegetables to dip into it and eat.
Nilla wafers or graham crackers are also super delicious with it, if you prefer to treat it more as a dessert.

How do I know when blueberries are ripe?
Blueberries are a delicious and healthy snack that many people enjoy, but it can be difficult to know when they are ripe and ready to eat. One sign to look for is the color of the berry.
When blueberries are ripe, they will be a deep blue color with a light gray-blue powder covering the surface.
Another clue is the texture of the berry. Ripe blueberries should be firm but tender to the touch.
Finally, taste can be a good indicator of ripeness. Ripe blueberries will have a sweet and slightly tart taste, whereas unripe berries may taste sour or bitter.
By paying attention to these signs, you can ensure that you are picking and enjoying the freshest and most delicious blueberries possible.
What is the best way to wash blueberries?
Blueberries are a delicious and healthy snack, but it’s important to wash them properly before enjoying. The best way to wash blueberries is to rinse them under cold water in a colander. Gently swish the berries around to ensure each one is clean.
Avoid using soap or any other type of cleaning product, as these can leave behind harmful residue and alter the taste of the fruit.
It’s also best to avoid soaking berries in water, as this can cause them to become waterlogged and lose flavor.
Simply rinse and pat dry with a clean towel, and your blueberries will be ready to eat or use in your favorite recipes.
What pairs well with blueberry salsa?
Blueberry salsa is a sweet and tangy treat that pairs well with a variety of flavors, and it’s perfect for any occasion. You can enjoy it as a dip with chips or crackers, or use it to add some flavor to your grilled chicken or fish.
If you’re looking for some inspiration, try pairing the salsa with avocado, cilantro, lime juice, and red onion.
The combination of different textures and flavors will leave you craving for more.
So, next time you’re planning a party or just cooking for yourself, make sure to add blueberry salsa to your menu. It’s a refreshing and delicious addition that your taste buds won’t regret trying.
How long does homemade salsa last?
If you’ve ever made homemade salsa, you know how delicious and satisfying it can be. But once you’ve made a big batch, you may be wondering how long it will last in your fridge.
The good news is that homemade salsa can last anywhere from 5-7 days when properly stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This estimate varies depending on the ingredients used and how you store your salsa.
If you want to extend the shelf life of your salsa, try using vinegar or lemon juice for acidity and keep it in the coldest part of your fridge.
By keeping an eye on the color, texture, and smell of your salsa, you can easily tell when it’s time to toss it and make a fresh batch.
