While in culinary school, I gained a renewed interest in sweet and savory salsas. I found this recipe in an appetizer cookbook that was given to me as a gift. It has a little sweet along with savory, spicy ingredients so I just had to try it. It's a nice accompaniment to grilled or barbecued fish and poultry, as well as ham.

How To Make berry salsa

  • Step 1
    Wearing rubber gloves, finely chop the jalapeno (discard the seeds and pith if a less-hot flavor is preferred). Place the pepper in a mixing bowl.
  • Step 2
    Add the red onion, scallions, tomato, bell pepper and coriander, and stir until well mixed.
  • Step 3
    In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, vinegar, orange juice, honey and olive oil until thoroughly combined. Pour this dressing over the jalapeno and bell pepper mixture and stir well.
  • Step 4
    Coarsely chop the strawberries. Then stir them into the mixture along with the blueberries (or blackberries) and raspberries. Allow to stand at room temperature for 3 hours before serving.
  • Step 5
    *Defrosted frozen berries can be used in this salsa, but the texture will be softer.
