What is Fruit Salsa?

Fruit salsa is a fun and refreshing twist on traditional salsa. Instead of tomatoes, onions, and spice, you get a mix of fresh, juicy fruits chopped into bite-sized pieces and tossed together with a touch of sweetness and citrus. Served with crispy cinnamon sugar tortilla chips, it’s the perfect sweet appetizer or dessert dip.

Ingredients

For the Fruit Salsa:

• 1 cup strawberries, diced
• 1 cup kiwi, peeled and diced
• 1 cup mango, diced
• 1 cup pineapple, diced
• ½ cup blueberries
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon lime zest (optional)

4. Chill in the fridge for 15–20 minutes before serving.

Step 2: Make the Cinnamon Sugar Chips

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
