Mouthwatering Salsa Recipes You Just Have to Try
These are a few of our family's favorite salsa recipes, that you'll find right here on Juggling Act Mama.

Sweet and spicy is the perfect flavor combination. It doesn't matter if you're making this colorful dish as an appetizer with chips or using it on tacos—you'll love every chip-full bite! My favorite way to eat this salsa is to put it on top of baja tacos!
Strawberry Salsa
Time to set aside the jarred salsa for a minute. Before you go reaching for that store-bought stuff, try this Strawberry Salsa recipe instead. With just six ingredients and four steps—it doesn't get much easier than that! The sweet strawberries nicely balance the heat from the jalapenos.
Pineapple Mango Salsa
Fresh pineapple, juicy mango, and crispy red onions come together for a beautiful salsa recipe that just screams summer. This tropical salsa pairs beautifully with grilled meats, like our Best Grilled Pork Tenderloin but is equally delectable with crunchy tortilla chips.
Sweet Corn, Tomato + Avocado Salsa
The perfect summer side dish to serve with grilled chicken or steak at your next cookout! With a hint of lime and a little cilantro, plus some heat from the jalapeno, this salsa is totally delicious!
Strawberry Peach Salsa
With the smokiness from grilled peaches, sweetness from fresh strawberries and the bite from red onion, this salsa is perfectly balanced! It's absolutely perfect for grilled pork, or any cut of meat you use with Strawberry Peach Barbecue Sauce!
Black Bean Salsa
Fresh summer corn, lightly grilled, and then mixed with olive oil, red onion, black beans, and lemon juice makes a great addition to chicken tacos, but is yummy with chips, too.
Cowboy Caviar Recipe
While this isn't called a salsa, you can eat it just the same way. What's better than fresh tomatoes, corn kernels, black beans, and of course a little onion and jalapeno seasoned perfectly with a few spices? I'd be remiss if I didn't mention it because it is absolutely delicious! Try it with our walking taco casserole.
