This Blueberry Peach Salsa is the perfect example of a yummy, crowd-pleasing summer dish. This sweet and tangy dish is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and barbecues.

    Ingredients and Substitutions

    People love Blueberry Peach Salad because it's got the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, it's packed with fresh summer flavors, and it's so easy to make! This salsa recipe requires just a handful of ingredients, and I'll bet you have most of them in your kitchen already.

    Fresh blueberries - You could also use frozen blueberries in this recipe, but be sure to thaw them first and drain off any excess liquid.

    Peaches - I like to use fresh peaches in this recipe, but you could also use canned peaches. If using canned, be sure to drain them well and chop them into small pieces.

    Fresh lemon juice -  This provides a little acidity and brightens up the flavors.

    Chopped fresh parsley -  This is completely optional, but I love the flavor it adds.

    Red bell pepper -   I used red because it's what I had on hand, but you could use any color bell pepper.

    Maple syrup -   I love the flavor of maple syrup in this recipe, but you could also use honey.

    Salt -  This is to taste. I usually add about ¼ teaspoon, but start with less and add more to taste.

    Step by Step Instructions for Blueberry Peach Salsa

    Full ingredient amounts and in-depth details are at the bottom of the post in a printable recipe card.

    Step 1 Put blueberries in a food processor. Pulse 4-5 times until berries are coarsely chopped. (Some berries will remain whole; do not over-chop.)

    Step 2 Peaches should be in small bite-size cubes. Combine berries and peach in a medium-sized bowl with the remaining ingredients.

    Step 3 Mix well, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

    Holly's Insider Pro Tips

    Use fresh peaches

    One of my favorite tips for making this dish is to use fresh peaches. Use peaches that are ripe but still firm for the best flavor and texture.

    Tips for chopping the peaches

    To make chopping the peaches easier, cut them in half and remove the pit first. Then, cut each half into small cubes.

    Refined salsa tips

    If you want a more refined salsa, you can strain out the blueberry seeds after pulsing them in the food processor.

        Gracias. My photos still need some work, but I'd like to think they're improvement at least a little bit. But really, I can't take all the credit. Food this colorful and pretty is automatically photogenic.
