It’s light, refreshing, and healthy too, jam-packed with fresh pineapple, blueberries, and lemon juice along with just a dash of honey to add a bit of sweetness.

With last weekend being Memorial Day, I was trying to concoct a fun summer appetizer and decided a fruit salsa would be perfect!

I was going camping with my family down in Indiana so I was looking to make something that was super simple to put together and could be done in our super tiny RV kitchen that has about one square foot of counter space.

It’s kind of a nightmare to make food in but this thankfully was very doable! Start to finish, making it took me about 15 minutes, and most of that was just spent cutting the pineapple which could easily be prepared ahead of time.

It’s light, refreshing, and healthy too, jam-packed with fresh pineapple, blueberries, and lemon juice along with just a dash of honey to add a bit of sweetness.

I served it with cinnamon pita chips but cinnamon tortilla chips would be delicious too! Cinnamon pita chips are always my go-to snack food so they naturally came to mind first for me!

I think they are quite hooking and the addition of those flavors to the fruits added a lovely dynamic.

Trust me, you are going to love this! It disappeared within minutes after I pulled it out of the fridge!

My family wants me to make it again for our next barbecue or picnic which I am looking forward to! I love how versatile fruit salsas are, I think I might even try adding in strawberries and kiwis next time to it to give it a bit of a different flair!

Recipe Tips

For a refreshing and aromatic touch, finely chop some fresh mint leaves and mix them into the salsa. Mint adds a pleasant contrast to the sweetness of the fruits and elevates the overall flavor profile.
While you can enjoy the salsa immediately, allowing it to marinate for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator will deepen the flavors and allow the fruits to meld together beautifully. This step is optional but highly recommended for maximum flavor infusion.
Instead of traditional tortilla chips, try making cinnamon-flavored tortilla chips to pair with your Blueberry Pineapple Fruit Salsa. Simply brush tortilla wedges with melted butter, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top, and bake until crispy. The hint of cinnamon will complement the fruity salsa perfectly.
While canned pineapple can work in a pinch, fresh pineapple brings a brighter, juicier flavor to the salsa. Plus, it adds a natural sweetness that complements the blueberries perfectly.

What to serve with this Salsa

The options are endless! You can serve the salsa with:

Tortilla chips, cinnamon chips, or even pita bread.
It also makes a delightful topping for grilled chicken or fish,
or you can spoon it over pancakes, waffles, or yogurt for a fruity twist.

Make In Advance

You can definitely make this delicious salsa ahead of time. Actually, allowing the salsa to sit in the refrigerator for a couple of hours or overnight allows the flavors to blend together even more. Just give it a good stir before serving.

Leftovers, Storing and Freezing

You can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The salsa should stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.

Fruit salsa generally doesn’t freeze well due to the high water content of the fruits. It can result in a mushy texture upon thawing.

Frequently Asked Questions (faqs)

Can I use frozen blueberries for the salsa?

While fresh blueberries are recommended for the best flavor and texture (and what I prefer), you can certainly use frozen blueberries as well. Just make sure to thaw and drain them before adding them to the salsa.

How long does the salsa stay fresh?

When stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, the salsa should stay fresh for up to 3-4 days. However, it’s so delicious that it’s rare that you have any leftovers!

Can I adjust the sweetness of the salsa?

Absolutely! I always recommend going low on the sweet part because it’s easier to adjust. If you find it not sweet enough, you can easily customize the sweetness to your liking. Simply add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup and adjust according to your taste preferences.

Can I add other fruits to the salsa?

Definitely! Feel free to get creative and add other fruits that you enjoy. Diced mango, kiwi, or even strawberries can be wonderful additions to the blueberry pineapple salsa, adding even more vibrant colors and flavors.

Can I use canned pineapple instead of fresh?

While fresh pineapple is recommended for this recipe for its bright and juicy flavor, you can use canned pineapple as a convenient alternative. Just make sure to drain it well before adding it to the salsa.

Can I freeze the salsa?

Fruit salsas generally don’t freeze well due to the high water content of the fruits. It can result in a mushy texture upon thawing. It’s best to enjoy the salsa fresh or store it in the refrigerator for a few days.
