Ingredients And Substitutions
This blueberry salsa recipe requires just a handful of ingredients, and I’ll bet you already have most of them in your kitchen.
Fresh blueberries – I recommend fresh blueberries for this fruit salsa. Take advantage of the fresh produce this summer!
Peach – While fresh peaches will give this blueberry and peach salsa the best texture and taste, you can also use canned peaches. Just remember to drain them well.
Fresh lemon juice – Provides a little acidity and brightens up the blueberry peach salsa.
Fresh parsley – You can also use basil or mint in this fruity salsa.
Red bell pepper – Any color of bell pepper works for this peach salsa recipe.
Maple syrup – Taste your peach and blueberry salsa and add more maple syrup if needed.
Salt – This is also to taste, but my tip? Start with less and add more.
This bright blueberry-peach salsa will also taste amazing with a bit of kick from a finely diced jalapeño pepper. You can also give the fresh salsa a savory touch by adding sliced green onions and chopped tomatoes.
The resulting fresh summer salsa will make an amazing side dish for BBQ favorites like this vegan black bean burger!
Tips For Making This Recipe
Use Fresh Fruits
The tastiest blueberries for this salsa are plump with deep purple skin. As for the peach, select one that smells sweet but still feels a bit firm for the best flavor and texture.
Tips For Cutting a Peach
Wash the peach thoroughly and cut around it. Twist to separate the two halves. Use the tip of your knife to dislodge the pit. Then, simply cut the peach halves into small cubes.
Remove the Blueberry Seeds
If you want a more refined blueberry peach salsa, strain out the blueberry seeds after pulsing the berries in the food processor.
