This FRUIT SALSA RECIPE is a serious favorite in my house! My kids love it and ask for it often, and it’s always requested anytime we have a potluck. It’s simple to throw together, if you don’t mind doing a bit of chopping and it’s the perfect sweet treat.

I’ve been making my brown sugar cinnamon fruit salad for years and years. It’s always a hit with my family and friends, but you guys…I think there’s a new love around here.

Fruit salsa!

It’s basically just fruit salad that’s been chopped more finely and, rather than eating it with a fork, you eat it with cinnamon sugar chips.

Everything is better with cinnamon sugar chips. 😉

How to Make:

To make this fruit salsa recipe, you’ll start by choosing your fruits. You can really mix and match to suit your own tastes, but I’ll give you the run down of what we normally go for:

Strawberries
Kiwi
Pineapple
Raspberries
Blueberries

Chop all of your fruit up into very small pieces. Honestly, even a bit smaller than what you see in my photos. My daughter chopped these for me and they’re a bit chunkier than I make them myself.

We want the fruit salsa to be easily scooped up by a chip.

Stir in some strawberry jam and brown sugar to make it just a little sauce-y. Stir it up, cover, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until you’re ready to dig in!

Helpful Tip!

Cinnamon Sugar Chips

You can purchase bags of cinnamon sugar pita chips, or you can make your own!

Pita bread and tortillas both make excellent chips! Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice into chips, brush with melted butter, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, and bake for 10-15 minutes in a 350 degree oven.

This fruit salsa will keep in the fridge for a few days, depending on how fresh your fruit was when you made the salsa.

Do keep in mind that fruit releases a bit of liquid and berries tend to get bruised up when mixed into dishes like this. We prefer to eat this the day it’s made, but we do eat the leftovers.

Tips & Notes:

To make your own cinnamon sugar chips, brush tortillas or pita bread with melted butter and sprinkle with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Cut into small triangles and place in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until crisp in a 350 degrees. The chips will crisp even more as they cool.
