Blueberry Corn Salsa
Sweet and fruity with just the right amount of heat, you’re going to love switching things up with this show-stopping Blueberry Corn Salsa!
Today I’m sharing with you this fabulous Blueberry Corn Salsa Recipe because I just recently spent time with Iowa Corn at #IACornQuest and I was inspired to go home and get cooking with corn!
Well, technically this isn’t cooking. In fact you can throw this together in about 10 minutes and everyone will be hitting you up for the recipe! So don’t bring this if you’re an introvert and don’t want to be giving out the recipe all night.
Fresh Ingredients Blueberry Corn Salsa
- corn
- blueberries
- strawberries
- red onion
- cilantro
- lime
The lineup here is super simple and the flavors come together so beautifully. It’s fresh and sweet with just the right amount of heat.
Add a bit of sugar to bring out the burst of strawberry juice, and don’t forget to sprinkle in some salt and pepper.
There’s nothing like being with your peers in the food writing industry to really get your creative juices flowing. Certainly the talented and committed farmers energized us as well! Everyone was so welcoming; I hope you read about my short time in the great state of Iowa!
Don’t you want to reach in there and grab a corn chip and get snacking?
What to Serve with Blueberry Corn Salsa
We like to serve this salsa with crunchy corn tortilla chips for a gluten-free snack. You could also enjoy it with some warm, sliced cornbread.
Serve over fresh salad greens, and add a protein of your choice for a filling meal. Or, if you’re in the mood for something comforting on a cool Fall evening, try my favorite corn casserole recipe.

Can I make this tonight, at 9 PM and server tomorrow at 1 PM? Or should I make it tomorrow morning?
This looks really good and easy to make I love it. Such a change from plain old salsa too. Have you ever tried mango salsa or watermelon? Both are good too.
