Equipment

Serving Bowl
Measuring cup

Ingredients

  • 2 Large Granny Smith Apples peeled, cored, and finely diced
  • 1½ Cups Blueberries Fresh is best
  • ½ Cup Red Onion finely diced
  • ¼ Cup Red Bell Pepper finely diced
  • 1 Jalapeño seeded and minced
  • ¼ Cup Cilantro chopped fresh
  • 2 Tablespoons Lime Juice fresh is preferred
  • 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  • Wash, peel, and finely dice the apples. Dice the onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño into small pieces so every bite has a little of everything.
    2 Large Granny Smith Apples, ½ Cup Red Onion, ¼ Cup Red Bell Pepper, 1 Jalapeño
  • Add the apples, blueberries, onion, pepper, jalapeño, and cilantro to a large bowl.
    1½ Cups Blueberries, ¼ Cup Cilantro
  • Whisk together the lime juice, brown sugar, and salt until combined. Pour over the salsa and gently fold everything together.
    2 Tablespoons Lime Juice, 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar, ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • Cover and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes before serving. This gives the fruit time to absorb the bright citrus flavor while the vegetables mellow slightly.
  • Serve chilled.

Notes

Tips for the Best Salsa

  • Best served the day it's made.
  • Dice ingredients evenly for easier scooping.
  • Taste after chilling and adjust with extra lime juice or a pinch of salt.
  • For more heat, leave a few jalapeño seeds in.
  • If your blueberries are especially sweet, reduce the brown sugar.
  • Stir gently so the berries don't completely break apart.
