If you’ve never had fruit salsa you are in for a treat! It isn’t like regular salsa, it isn’t spicy or savory, served with salty chips. Instead it is sweet, tart, and accompanied by homemade cinnamon chips that are crunchy and just a little bit sweet! This is a great recipe for showcasing all your summer favorites!

This fresh fruit salsa is similar to fruit salad but the fruit and berries are chopped into small pieces that make them perfectly dippable and you get a ton of flavors in every bite! This will be your new favorite snack all summer long!

Can I use other fruits in this salsa?

Absolutely! I love that this recipe is loaded with berries but you can easily add in any of your favorite fruits to create a combination that you’ll love! Pears make a great swap for apples in this recipe, and you can always add in kiwis, fresh peaches, even pineapple to create a fruity salsa that you love! The most important thing to remember is to dice the pieces nice and small so the flavors blend beautifully to create a delicious colorful fruit salsa!

Do I have to make the chips?

I love scooping this salsa out on a cinnamon chip but you don’t have to make them! You can grab a bag or two of cinnamon pita chips at the grocery store (Stacy’s makes some delicious ones!) You can also use this salsa as a topping for ice cream or even on yogurt! I love to use it on my Greek yogurt with a little granola for a delicious breakfast! Another great way to use it is over angel food cake or shortcakes with a little whipped cream!

Can I make this fruit salsa in advance?

This recipe is best served about 1/2 an hour after it is made. That gives the flavors time to blend without the salsa getting too juicy from the fruit releasing liquid. After it sits awhile the apples will also take on some of the berry flavor so if you want the impact of the red white and blue color fresher is better! You can make it up to 2 hours in advance and it will still taste fresh and delicious. Any leftovers will still be super tasty there will just be more juice in the bowl. This simple fruit salsa is so easy that it is super quick to whip up at the last minute. You can make the chips a day in advance to save time if you need to!

Here’s what you’ll need for this fruit salsa

For the Salsa

1-16 oz. Container of Strawberries

1 Pint of Blueberries

½ Pint Raspberries

2 Medium Size Crunchy Apples ( I used Honeycrisp)

½ Cup Lemon Juice or Lime Juice – fresh is best

2 Tbsp Honey

¼ tsp Vanilla

For the Chips

6 Medium Size Flour Tortillas

½ Cup Butter

½ Cup Sugar

2 tsp Ground Cinnamon

The first thing you’ll need to do is to finely dice all of the berries. Depending on the size of the strawberries they’ll need chopped quite a bit. I like to half or quarter the blueberries and raspberries depending on if they are larger or smaller.

Place the chopped berries in a large bowl . Next you’ll want to peel and finely chop the apples. Add the diced apples to the bowl with the chopped berries.

Now in a small bowl whisk together the lemon juice, honey and vanilla. Pour the mixture over the diced fruit and gently fold until the fruit is well mixed and coated with the dressing mixture.

Set the salsa aside while you make your homemade cinnamon tortilla chips.

First preheat the oven to 400 and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Place your tortillas on a cutting board and using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter cut them into 8 equal pieces.

Melt the butter in a small bowl or pan. Mix the sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.

Now brush each tortilla piece on both sides with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Place on the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven for 7-8 minutes or until slightly golden brown. The chips will continue to crisp as they cool so they don’t have to be super crunchy when they come out of the oven.

Place them on a wire rack to cool completely.

After the chips have cooled serve them alongside the fruit salsa and enjoy!

Store any leftover salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator and any leftover chips in a zip top baggie or airtight container.
