Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 ripe avocado
- 0.25 small red onion
- 1 jalapeño pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 lime
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the blueberries under cold water and pat them dry. Pour them into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into small cubes. Add the diced avocado to the bowl with the blueberries.
Finely dice the red onion, measuring out 1/4 of it, and add it to the bowl.
Remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño pepper, then finely chop it. Add the jalapeño to the mixture for a subtle kick of heat.
Chop the fresh cilantro finely and incorporate 2 tablespoons into the bowl.
Zest the lime to extract about 1 teaspoon of lime zest and then cut it in half. Squeeze the juice from the lime over the other ingredients in the bowl.
Season the mixture with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined, being careful not to crush the blueberries or avocado.
Cover the salsa and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, over grilled chicken or fish, or as a topping for tacos.
