Today on The Stay At Home Chef I'm showing you how to make
3 totally weird salsas that are also totally delicious :)
These salsas are all totally non-traditional but they're also super tasty.
People always love them. They're skeptical, but once they dig in they love
these salsas. We're making a fennel cucumber avocado salsa, a blueberry and
red bell pepper salsa, and a strawberry salsa and we'll start right here with
the blueberry red bell pepper. You'll need about 3 cups of blueberries and
you want to use fresh blueberries for this, not frozen, so it's good to do this
when blueberries are in season and on sale. You'll want to roughly chop them
It's okay if you miss some. Some will be whole and some will be chopped
We actually are trying for that variation and then you'll want to slide
all of these into a bowl and continue until you've roughly chopped all 3 cups
Next, seed and dice two red bell peppers and I just cut them off the side
so I can remove the core here with all the seeds and slice them into strips and
dice them up and then get that into the bowl with the blueberries. And it helps
if you dice them pretty small. Mince half a red onion. Add some heat by mincing
1 to 2 jalapenos and get those in the bowl as well. The great thing about salsas is
they are super easy to make and it's really just chop stuff up, put it in a bowl
and stir it together. The last thing to cut up, chop up, is some fresh cilantro.
Wouldn't be salsa without cilantro and get that in the bowl as well.
Last, add in one freshly squeezed lemon, so you want the juice from one
lemon which is about 1/4 cup, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and that's it. Stir it together.
As it sits the flavors will meld together and this stays good for
about 72 hours but it really is best if eaten within 24 hours. Let's give this a try.
mmmmm! I would seriously eat this all day but let's move on to our next salsa.
We'll keep with the berry theme and make our strawberry salsa next.
So you'll want to first dice up some strawberries and it's a little
weird to dice strawberries but dice them up into a little tiny salsa like pieces
First it helps if you place the strawberry upside down and slice it one
way and then the other and then as you slice off each layer, dice that. You need
about 3/4 to 1 cup of diced strawberry. Then you'll dice one fresh tomato as well.
Everything with salsa making either requires a small dice or a mince.
With super strong flavors you want to mince. So right now I'm mincing up
1/4 of a red onion and then I'm mincing a little bit of jalapeno.
I'm only doing about 1/4 of a jalapeno but you can always adjust this
to suit your own personal heat tolerance get that in our little bowl
with the strawberry and tomato. Then you'll need about a 1/3 of freshly chopped cilantro
1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper and
last we'll need the juice from one lime. Pour that in and give this a toss.
I love the sweetness of the strawberry, how it combines with the tomato, the jalapeno,
the cilantro....this is so tast!y And I've saved the weirdest one for last.
We'll start with the fennel. You'll want to just trim off the end there and then
you'll want to remove the bulb from the stems. We're just gonna use the bulb for
this so cut it off at the point where those stems meet the bulb and then
you'll want to dice the bulb up nice and small and get that into a bowl. Slice and
dice one cucumber into small little pieces. Add that into the bowl with the
fennel along with 1/2 of a minced red onion and some chopped cilantro.
We're gonna dice up 2 avocados so we'll get that open, remove the seed
Use a spoon or a butter knife to scoop out the flesh
and dice your avocado. Add that avocado gently into your bowl and then pour in
the juice from 2 limes and last of all 1/2 teaspoon of salt and gently stir
this all together. Now this might upset some people but this salsa is better
with a little bit of added sweetness so I like to add in 1 to 2 tablespoons
of either sugar or honey and stir that in as well. Now I know this one is the
weirdest but I tell you what this one is also my favorite and it tends to be the
crowd favorite as well so you definitely want to try this one!
