This salsa is a delicious mix of fruits, vegetables and beans that’s delicious on chips, burgers, grilled meats and more!
Hi Friends!
Recipe time. Today I thought I’d share a fun little salsa recipe that I’ve been enjoying the past few weeks. When I hear salsa, I usually think tomatoes…but in the summer, with so much fresh produce around, sometimes it’s fun to think outside the box and push the limits of the term “salsa” a little bit!
This summer salsa combines fruits, veggies and beans and it’s fabulous with chips, on burgers or served over grilled chicken or pork!
It’s basically a combination of all my favorite things about summer and I’m fairly certain I could eat it all day, every day!
Here’s how you make it:
PrintSummer Salsa
A fun summer twist on salsa that combines fruits, veggies and beans. Delicious over grilled meat or with chips!
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Yield: 4 1x
Ingredients
- 1 nectarine, diced
- 1/2 cup strawberries, diced
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 1/2 cup avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup corn (grilled is best!)
- 1 cup black beans
- juice from one lime
- optional: jalapeno, cilantro
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and serve.
- Flavor deepens the longer it sits.
Adding jalapeno is a great option if you want to add a little kick. Sub lemon juice for lime juice if you want!
Feel free to sub in your fav fruits and veggies. Pineapple would be a delicious addition!
Don’t you just wanna dive right in?!
Enjoy!

I love salsa! Anything where I can mix a big range of veggies altogether. Perfect for the Summer!
Linz @ Itz Linz says
Yes I do! Sounds awesome! And looks pretty too!
Arman @ thebigmansworld says
I love a variation of sweet, salty, savoury and well, everything. Perfect ‘salsa’ Linds. Can’t wait for Summer to make this (seeing as the only fruit now which doesn’t cost my left arm are apples and oranges!)
Lindsay says
haha yeah winter is the worst.

This looks great. I agree, grilled corn for the win!
Emily @ Zen & Spice says
This looks very similar to a mango salsa that I make and add to tilapia! I’ve never tried adding strawberries though. Definitely will do that next time!
Lindsay says
oooh it’d be so good over tilapia!

I absolutely love fruit salads of any kind, I’m not sure how I feel about adding vegetables as well. But something in the freshness of your recipe makes me want to try this. This weekend will definitely try it. Thanks
