Cinco de Mayo Dos Berry Salsa

 Cinco de Mayo is less than a week away and no celebration is complete without some chips and salsa!

Dos Berry Salsa is a delicious variation that is full of flavor, colorful, and quick and easy to assemble!

Similar to Blueberry Salsa, I tweaked a recipe for a Triple Berry Salsa, using dos instead of tres berries. . . :) This  recipe is easily adapted, changing the quantity for your crowd, using berries of your choice or fruit in season!

  Dos Berry Salsa,

adapted from Taste of Home

Ingredients

3 cups fresh berries (I used blueberries, some chopped, some whole & chopped strawberries)

1 small sweet yellow pepper, chopped

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon olive oil

Juice of ½ lime

Juice of ½ orange

1 tablespoon honey

1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients. Drizzle over salsa; toss to coat. Chill well*, stir before serving with chips.

*We prefer it after only a brief chilling time, 1 – 2 hours, so the flavors are still somewhat distinct, but chill it longer if you want the flavors to marry.

 This is a refreshing salsa to enjoy during the summer months too!

End your celebration on a sweet note with

Margarita Cookies,  a shortbread-style cookie

with lime zest and a sprinkling of sea salt and

 turbinado sugar for a sweet and tart treat.

Or sandwich them together with a combination of

lime sherbet and vanilla ice cream to cool the heat

from your fiery peppers or jalapeños.

Put the Olé in Corn and Bacon Guacamole!

Roasted or grilled corn adds just the right amount

 of sweetness and smokiness to guacamole.
