Red, White, And Blue Salsa Recipe – Just In Time For Your Picnic!

Red, White and Blue Salsa

It’s hard to believe that it is the end of May. And the end of May means one thing – it is cookout, picnic and barbecue time.  Because Memorial Day weekend is upon us, I thought I would post one of our favorite red, white, and blue recipes.

The combination of ingredients both look and tastes outstanding!

This recipe comes with all sort of delicious flavors that you may not have ever considered combining. You first get the sweetness of the strawberries and blueberries combined with the crunch of the pears. Then the fresh cilantro sits on your palate right before the slight kick of the jalapeno and red onion.  And the best part of all – it only takes a few minutes to prepare!

So as you celebrate with family and friends, add something unique to the traditional cook out menu with this patriotic salsa recipe.
