The Kentucky Derby Recipe Roundup 2023
Being born and raised in Kentucky, the derby is considered a holiday around here! I love the tradition of big hats, mint juleps, and horse betting, but I also LOVE creating traditional KY recipes to share with family and friends as we wait for the big race!
Mint Julep Fruit Salsa
This bright, fresh, and flavorful fruit salsa is the perfect addition to your Kentucky derby party spread! I have to admit I’ve always kind of scoffed at the idea of fruit salsa, but this recipe definitely changed my mind! The addition of the bourbon and mint gives this such a great depth of flavor and I was literally just eating it with a spoon! Serve with some sweeter crackers or chips (cinnamon pita or tortilla chips are ideal) or eat all alone!
