Last month, I was introduced to the most delicious snack I think I’ve ever had. It’s a snack I don’t even have to feel bad about indulging in. I had fruit salsa for the first time! (Please tell me I’m not the only person living under a rock who had never heard of this amazing food before….)
I love traditional salsa and chips. As a matter of fact, when I was pregnant with our oldest, I couldn’t get enough spicy salsa. My afternoon snack after work every single day for months consisted of salsa, chips, and Berry flavored Juicy Juice. I seriously couldn’t get enough of my Aunt Roxane’s salsa recipe! But now there’s a sweeter love in my life and that’s this addictive fruit salsa!
Fruit Salsa = Not Your Typical Salsa
The typical salsa recipe features tomatoes and savory notes like cilantro and onion. Fruit salsa is a sweet treat, almost like a scoop-able berry salad. It’s perfect for a light summer snack, mealtime appetizer, or party treat (think baby shower, bridal shower, birthday party, etc.). Eat it plain or scoop it onto cinnamon sugar pita chips for even more flavor.
Ingredients- the possibilities are endless
The beauty of fruit salsa is you can use ANY kind of fruit you’d like! This comes in especially handy since you can buy in season. My favorites are:
- Strawberries
- Raspberries
- Blackberries
- Kiwi
- Pineapple
- Blueberries
- Mangos
- Watermelon
- Apples
- Grapes
The best base of this fruit salsa recipe is:
- 4 pounds strawberries
- 3 pounds grapes
- 4 kiwi
- 2 clamshells raspberries
- 2 pineapple
- 3 tablespoons raspberry jam
From there, you can add whatever other fruits you love or want. Apples tend to add some nice crunch to this recipe.
Directions
-Dice all fruit into small, fine pieces. The smaller the better. (Think, the size you’d feed a young toddler.)
-Place all fruit into a bowl.
-Add jam.
-Gently stir fruit and jam together until well mixed. Be careful to not crush the fruit.
-Eat immediately or refrigerate until serving.
-I love to serve this fruit salsa recipe with Stacy’s Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips! However, you can also make your own if you prefer.
Homemade Cinnamon Crisps:
- 10 flour tortillas 10″
- Cooking spray or Olive Oil Spray
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions for homemade cinnamon crisps-
Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.
Take 3 tortillas at a time and spray both sides with olive oil spray and lightly sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture.
Stack those tortillas and cut into wedges of the desired size.
Place on a baking sheet and bake for 8-12 minutes, or until crisp. Keep watch so they don’t burn!

How long can you refrigerate this salsa. Ok I know it does not last long in your house :-) This sounds so good I will be saving this and cutting it WAY WAY DOWN.

I would say 2-3 days because the fruit juices and will become pretty watery. But the beauty is you can absolutely cut the recipe down and make it perfect for one or two people!

This sounds so good. I think I could eat it for dinner on a warm summer day as well as a snack any day.
