Hi guys. I just have to share this quick and easy recipe, because it essential to the Salmon recipe I am serving up tomorrow.
If you are looking for something new and different to top your BBQ’d fish or chicken with, or even just to dip your tortilla chips in, than I think I have it…
Blueberry Corn Salsa. I am not kidding. It is so crunchy and has all of the sweetness of the raw corn and blueberries with the tartness from the berries and the lime. Plus some savory (and crunchy!) red onion. The basil and a dash of olive oil rounds all of the flavors out and you just are left with a perfect summer condiment!
Oh yeah- it happens to be really pretty and different. Sometimes you just need to shake things up! Right? Since I clearly can’t get away from all of these salsas lately, check these out too:

Hi Heather!
I am an intern at the food and nutrition blog Abbey’s Kitchen by Registered Dietitian, Abbey Sharp, and we are doing a round up of healthy recipes featuring blueberries. We would love if we could include your recipe for “Blueberry Corn & Basil Salsa” in our round up. We simply would be using the photo from the blog post, and the recipe title and then would hyperlink to your original blog post with your blog name and include a nutrition breakdown of the recipe (that we do). We will NEVER re-print your recipe on the blog- always just hyperlink to your website to ensure traffic returns to your website. We may also share a compilation of photos from the blog post on social media to promote it. Please just confirm you’re okay with this and if in the future we can share your content without having to constantly ask.
Thanks so much!
