Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 ounces fresh blueberries about 1 heaping cup
- 1 cup corn I use frozen roasted corn that I allow to thaw and then drain; fresh corn may be substituted
- ½ cup fresh strawberries trimmed and diced small
- ⅓ to ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves stems discarded, finely minced
- about 3 tablespoons green jalapeno peppers seeded and finely chopped; or to taste (I use half of one jalapeno)
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 to 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce or to taste (Tabasco, Cholula, Tapatio, etc.)
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon pepper or to taste
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar optional and to taste
Instructions
- To a large bowl, add all the ingredients (except sugar), stir to combine, and taste.
- Depending on preference, add the sugar to taste; or more salt, pepper, lime juice, hot sauce depending.
- Serve immediately with chips or as a side ‘salad’ or relish with the protein of your choice.
Notes
I prefer the salsa with the ingredients kept whole and intact, but transferring a portion or all of the salsa to a food processor and blending briefly is another option.
Storage: Salsa will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days, noting it will become a bit more watery as the berries, etc. release their juices over time. However, the flavors marry over time and it tastes even better.
