Blueberry Bell Pepper Salsa
Description
Blueberry Bell Pepper Salsa mixes roughly chopped fresh blueberries with finely minced red bell pepper, jalapeño, and red onion. The combination balances sweet berries with mild heat and crunch from the vegetables. Fresh cilantro incorporated adds a fragrant, herbal note while lemon juice brightens and ties the flavors together.
The texture varies from whole to chopped blueberries, creating a visually appealing mix with pockets of fresh berry juice. This fresh salsa does not require cooking or marinating, so it can be prepared quickly and served immediately to maintain the crispness of the vegetables.
This salsa works well as a topping for grilled chicken or fish, an accompaniment to tortilla chips for dipping, or a colorful side addition to summer meals. The added salt helps balance sweetness and enhance the other flavors.

- 1/2 cup cilantro chopped, chopped, fresh

- 2 bell pepper diced small, red
