You Had Me at Chips & (Fruit) Salsa

I’m over here living my best life and eating chips and salsa as often as humanly possible. You see, my husband, at age 44, has finally discovered that salsa is actually delicious. Now I serve it up for every meal.

He’s obsessed with our restaurant style salsa, but now I’ve got him loving our fruit salsa with cinnamon sugar pita chips.

This is such a tasty twist on chips and salsa, especially during spring and summer when fruit is at it’s best.

We do a mix of berries, grapes, pineapple, and kiwi but after endless trials I can confirm that this is delicious with any fruit your heart desires.

Currently on a serious peach kick and they go perfectly in this fruit salsa recipe!

What is Fruit Salsa?

Fruit salsa is 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. 😉

Ingredient Notes:

Fruit – Your basic fruit salsa will consist of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, pineapple, and kiwi, but you can add or remove any fruits you like! This is great with watermelon, peaches, apples, blackberries, and more!

Sugar – You’ll be needing some brown sugar for this recipe to add a little extra sweetness to the fruit.

Jam – I use strawberry jam in this recipe to get the fruit just a little saucy. It pairs with the brown sugar to make the sauce.

Cinnamon Sugar Chips – You can easily find cinnamon sugar chips in most stores, but we’ll also include details for making your own below!

How to Make Fruit Salsa:

Chop the fruit so that it’s all similarly sized, about the size of your blueberries. Add it all to a mixing bowl.

Add the brown sugar and jam to the fruit and give it a stir to combine. Be careful while stirring so as not to break up the fruit too much.

Variations:

There are so many ways you can make fruit salsa! I’m sticking to some pretty standard fruits and ingredients here but you can switch this up however you want. Try this fruit salsa with some of these other ingredients:

• Fruits: Mix up the fruit salsa by swapping out your favorite fruits. Give apples, mangoes, pears, peaches, oranges, watermelon, cantaloupe, and blackberries a try!
• Citrus: Adding some citrus juice will brighten the colors and add a bit of acidity to the mix. Freshly squeezed lemon juice, lime juice, and orange juice are good choices. You can grate some zest too for even more flavor.
• Sweeteners: We’re adding brown sugar to help sweeten this up but you could swap that out for other sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup!

Storage Instructions:

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.

Leftovers are also delicious stirred into greek yogurt or over a pile of our blueberry baked oatmeal. Blend them up into a tasty smoothie as well!
