Sweet blueberries meet crisp cucumber in this vibrant, refreshing summer salsa with lime and cilantro.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 cup fresh blueberries, halved

02 - 1 medium cucumber, peeled and diced

03 - 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

04 - 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced

05 - 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

06 - Juice of 1 lime (about 1 tablespoon)

07 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

08 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the halved blueberries, diced cucumber, finely chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, and fresh cilantro.

02 - Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.

03 - Gently toss all ingredients together until evenly coated and well combined, taking care not to crush the blueberries.

04 - Allow the salsa to rest for 10 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate, giving the flavors time to meld together.

05 - Serve chilled with tortilla chips, or use as a refreshing topping for grilled chicken, fish, or tacos.

01 -

Zero cooking required, which means your kitchen stays cool and you get all the credit with none of the effort.
The contrast of juicy blueberries and crisp cucumber makes every bite feel surprising and fresh.

02 -

This salsa is best eaten the day you make it because the cucumbers release water and everything gets soupy by day two.
Taste your blueberries before you start, if they are tart rather than sweet add a tiny drizzle of honey to bring balance.

03 -

Chill the cucumber in the fridge overnight before dicing for maximum crunch factor.
A pinch of cumin added with the salt gives the whole bowl a subtle smoky depth that people will not be able to place but will absolutely notice.
