If you’re looking for a fresh, colorful appetizer that disappears fast, this Blueberry Strawberry Jicama Salsa is it. Sweet blueberries and juicy strawberries pair perfectly with crisp jicama, fresh cilantro, red onion, jalapeño, and plenty of fresh lime juice for a salsa that’s bright, refreshing, and packed with flavor.
I love making this recipe all summer long because it comes together in just a few minutes and doesn’t require any cooking. The combination of sweet fruit, crunchy jicama, and a little kick from the jalapeño makes every bite irresistible. Serve it with tortilla chips for an easy snack or appetizer, or spoon it over grilled chicken, fish, shrimp, or tacos for a fresh summer meal.
It’s especially fun for the 4th of July and patriotic holidays because of the natural red, white, and blue colors, but it’s just as perfect for backyard barbecues, potlucks, pool days, or anytime fresh berries are in season.
Ingredients (with Helpful Notes)
- Blueberries: Use fresh, firm blueberries for the best texture.
- Strawberries: Sweet, ripe strawberries add juicy flavor and beautiful color.
- Jicama: Adds an irresistible crisp crunch that keeps the salsa light and refreshing.
- Cilantro: Fresh cilantro brings everything together.
- Red onion: Adds just enough bite without overpowering the fruit.
- Jalapeño: Seed it for mild heat or leave some seeds for extra spice.
- Fresh lime juice: Brightens every flavor and helps keep the fruit tasting fresh.
- Kosher salt: Just a pinch makes the fruit flavors pop.
Tips for the Best Fruit Salsa
- Use ripe, sweet berries. The better your blueberries and strawberries, the better your salsa will taste.
- Don’t skip the jicama. It adds a crisp, refreshing crunch that balances the juicy fruit and keeps the salsa from becoming too soft.
- Adjust the heat. Remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño for a mild salsa, or leave some in if you like a little spice.
- Let it rest. After mixing, let the salsa sit for 10 to 15 minutes so the flavors have time to meld.
- Serve it more than one way. Tortilla chips are always a favorite, but this salsa is also delicious spooned over grilled chicken, salmon, shrimp, fish tacos, or even salads.
- Enjoy it fresh. This salsa is at its best the day it’s made, when the fruit is juicy and the jicama is perfectly crisp.
How to Store the Salsa
This salsa is best enjoyed the day it’s made, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir before serving, as the fruit will release some juice while it sits.

I LOVE this recipe. I make it every 4th of July and it’s always a big hit!
Made this yesterday for a BBQ – it was delicious! Making it again tomorrow for another BBQ.
Yahoo! Happy 4th!
Tasted fine, loved the texture the jimica added to the mix. However, the photo is deceiving. Once the ingredients are mixed, the strawberries will stain the jimica red, the white is lost, and the 4th of July red-blue-white turns into a far less interesting red-blue mix.
We’ve done away with cereal at house and often we serve Greek yogurt with mixed berries and almonds for breakfast. I tried your salad on top of yogurt for breakfast and it was a hit. Great combination of textures and colors. A+
I will try this recipe. Thanks shaina for share this lovely recipe
