Raspberry Salsa Dip Ingredients

  • 2 cups raspberry (225 grams fresh or frozen raspberries)
  • 1/4 cup red onion (chopped finely)
  • 1 jalapeno (chopped finely)
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp cilantro (chopped finely)

Instructions

  1. Combine everything: In a mixing bowl, add the raspberries, finely chopped red onion, jalapeno, minced garlic, freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, maple syrup, and chopped cilantro.
  2. Mix well and release juices: Use a spatula to gently press some of the raspberries, allowing their juices to blend with the other ingredients for enhanced flavor. Continue mixing until all components are thoroughly combined.
  3. Adjust seasoning: Taste the mixture and adjust the salt or sweetness by adding more salt or maple syrup as preferred.
  4. Chill and serve: Transfer the salsa to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 30 minutes. Serving it cold enhances the flavors and makes it a refreshing dip.

Notes

  • Using fresh raspberries is ideal, but frozen raspberries work well too; just thaw before use.
  • For less heat, remove the seeds from the jalapeno or reduce the quantity.
  • This salsa pairs excellently with tortilla chips, grilled meats, or as a topping for tacos.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust the lemon juice and maple syrup according to your taste preference for balance between tartness and sweetness.
