🥣 Instructions:
1. Prep Your Ingredients
• Rinse and dry the blueberries.
• Dice the strawberries into small chunks.
• Mince the cilantro and jalapeño, removing seeds if desired for less heat.
• If using frozen corn, thaw and drain well. If using fresh corn, cook and remove from the cob.
2. Mix the Base
In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, corn, strawberries, cilantro, and jalapeño.
3. Add the Flavor
Stir in the lime zest, lime juice, and Hola Island Citrus Cuban Marinade. Add the hot sauce, salt, pepper, and optional sugar.
4. Gently Combine
Mix everything together carefully to avoid smashing the blueberries. Fold gently until well combined.
5. Let It Marinate
Cover and chill the salsa for 15–20 minutes to let all those bold, bright flavors mingle. (Trust us — it’s worth the wait!)
6. Serve and Savor
Enjoy with tortilla chips, spoon over grilled proteins, or serve as a tropical side dish. It’s sunshine in a bowl!
