Blueberry Salsa

(3)3 Comments

Blueberries pair surprisingly well with classic salsa elements such as tomato and jalapeño. Serve this fruity salsa with baked whole wheat or corn tortilla chips, your favorite whole grain crackers, or celery sticks. Tip: Chile peppers contain oils that can irritate your skin and eyes. Wear plastic or rubber gloves when working with them.
