Everyone knows that blueberries are ridiculously healthy for you. And they’re pretty delicious to boot. But they don’t just belong in pancakes or in a pie or even in a jam.
That’s because they make a fantastic addition to a lemony salsa that’s wonderful on chicken, or even just as a snack with tortilla chips.
However, I’m amazed that I even made my first batch to begin with. Blueberries tend not to last long in our household, because we eat them by the handful like potato chips. Finally, after we had received (and immediately consumed) several pints from our CSA this summer, I decided that I should try to – you know – actually do something with them.
Because I was out of lime juice I used lemon juice instead, and I was immediately hooked on the combination.
This is one of those recipes that only takes a few minutes to make, and the memory will stick with you like crazy. So, if you’re in the mood for something spicy and fresh, give this a shot.
