This fresh fruit blender blueberry salsa recipe features fresh, plump blueberries paired with ripe summer strawberries, a hint of lime and a kick of jalapeño in this fresh blueberry salsa recipe. Blueberry salsa is the summer salsa you didn’t know you needed to complete your salsa recipe collection.

I have seen some blueberry salsa recipes that call for red bell pepper or onion. While those recipes are delicious I love the full fruit flavors of this blueberry salsa with the kick of jalapeno, cilantro and lime. The flavors pair nicely together.

Can this salsa be made in a blender or food processor?

This salsa is perfect for your blender or food processor. Just pulse the ingredients a few times until you achieve the consistency you desire. I would not turn the blender or food processor fully on as it might getaway from you and you might end up with a soup. If you DO want a cold fruit soup recipe I would suggest my strawberry soup.

Do you have to use a food processor or blender to make this salsa?

If you don’t have a food processor or blender, or in my case they are both in the dishwasher, don’t worry. Just pull out a cutting board and a chef knife and chop away! It will take a few extra minutes but hand chopping your salsa is another way of achieving a delicious side dish.

How far ahead can this salsa be made?

I like to make this salsa about an hour before I serve it. I would not advise making it more than 8 hours ahead as the salt will start to break down the berries and make them liquid.

How do you make blueberry salsa?

Remove the seeds, stem and membrane of the jalapeno pepper and roughly chop the pepper.
Zest and juice the lime into the bottom of the food processor or blender.
Add the rest of the ingredients on top of the lime juice and zest.
Close the lid and pulse until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste for seasoning and add more salt, if needed.
Chill for 1 hour for best flavor results.

What do you serve with blueberry salsa?

I am a fan of serving this blueberry salsa with tortilla chips. If you can find the one with a hint of lime, that would be delicious. Another sweet option is to serve them with cinnamon tortilla chips. This salsa is so good with sous vide sea bass for a lighter, fresher accompaniment than the tomatoes I normally serve. it would also be good on pancakes or waffles if you like a little heat with your sweet in the morning.
