Fruit Salsa

We are obsessed with fruity salsas, especially when they’re paired with a good marinated chicken recipe. Mango Chicken and Pineapple Chicken are two of our favorite meals at home!

So, it’s high time I shared a great standard fruit salsa recipe with you all. It’s our absolute favorite, and the kids love it every time I make it! They get even more excited when I prepare a double batch of cinnamon sugar chips to dip in the salsa.

QUICK TIP

Dice the fruit into very small pieces: if the fruit is large, it will seem more like a fruit salad than a salsa. And the big pieces will be hard to scoop onto a chip!

Fruit Salsa Ingredients

Below are the ingredients for our favorite fruit salsa, but feel free to mix and match different fruits as long as the quantities stay pretty consistent.

  • Strawberries, Raspberries, Kiwis, Mango, Nectarine: These are the main ingredients for the salsa, giving it a sweet and fruity taste. Check out this how to cut a mango.
  • Lemon Juice: Makes the salsa a bit tangy and helps the fruit flavors stand out.
  • Apricot Preservers: Adds extra sweetness and helps stick the fruits together.
  • Optional Honey: Use it if the fruits aren’t sweet enough.

Sugar and cinnamon, essential ingredients for making cinnamon tortilla chips.

How To Make Fruit Salsa

  1. Chop the Fruit: Dice strawberries, raspberries, kiwis, mango, and nectarine into small pieces.
  2. Mix: In a big bowl, mix the chopped fruits together.
  3. Add Flavor: Pour in some freshly squeezed lemon juice and apricot preserves. Stir everything gently.
  4. Sweeten if Needed: If the fruits aren’t sweet enough, you can drizzle a bit of honey over the salsa.
  5. Chill: Put the salsa in the fridge while you prepare the chips.

VARIATIONS

Switch It Up

  • Healthy Fruit Salsa: Use whole wheat pita bread instead of tortillas and reduce or omit apricot preserves.
  • Salsa with Honey: Add up to a tablespoon of honey if the salsa needs more sweetness.
  • Salsa for Fish: Pair the salsa with fish, like Blackened Tilapia.
  • Salsa with Apple Jelly: Swap apricot/orange preserves with apple jelly, especially if using apples.
  • Pineapple Salsa: Use fresh pineapple instead of mango, or include both.
  • Add Fresh Mint: For an added fresh and contrasting flavor.

Ingredients

Fruit Salsa

  • 1 container (16 ounces) fresh strawberries, hulled and diced (~2 and 1/4 cups)
  • 1 container (6 ounces) fresh raspberries, diced (~heaping 3/4 cup)
  • 2 large kiwis, peeled and diced (~1 cup)
  • 1 large mango, peeled and diced (~1 cup)
  • 1 large nectarine, diced (~1 cup)
  • 1/2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons apricot preservers
  • Optional: drizzle of honey

Cinnamon Sugar Chips

  • 1/2 cup white cane sugar (or use white granulated sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 unbaked flour tortillas
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted

Instructions

  • PREP: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat liner and set aside.
  • FRUIT SALSA: In a large bowl, combine the diced strawberries, raspberries, kiwis, mango, and nectarine. Add the lemon juice and apricot preserves and very gently stir to combine. If needed, add a drizzle of honey (I always find it plenty sweet as is, but you may need some honey for less-ripe fruit!). Cover and refrigerate while making the chips.
  • CINNAMON SUGAR: In a small bowl, whisk together the white sugar and cinnamon.
  • TORTILLAS: Prepare the unbaked tortillas (if using) according to package directions.
    Brush one side of each tortilla with the melted butter. Using a sharp knife (or pizza cutter), cut each tortilla into 8 triangles. Place a tortilla over the bowl of sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle the tortilla with the mixture until well coated.
  • BAKE: Place the tortilla triangles on the prepared baking sheet in one layer without overlapping. Bake on separate sheet pans or in batches if needed. Bake for 6-12 minutes, or until they begin to crisp. As soon as they begin crisping, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely. Let the tortillas stand for 10-15 minutes to cool and continue to firm up.
  • SERVE: Serve tortilla chips alongside Fruit Salsa. Fruit Salsa best enjoyed the same day it's made. (Tortilla chips last up to a week in an airtight bag at room temperature.)

    Add a little diced jalapeño or habanero to salsa to spice it up. I like using a little maple syrup and a good cinnamon also. You really don’t need the sugary chips. This salsa is definitely a keeper!
