Fruit Salsa is a recipe I’ve been making pretty much forever. This isn’t a typical salsa in the sense that it doesn’t have any savory notes to it (like cilantro or onion), it’s more like a sweet berry fruit salad in a scoopable form.
It’s the perfect light summer snack or appetizer and a delicious treat to serve at a potluck or bridal shower (and I always seem to have to double the recipe)!
This recipe starts with ripe juicy berries and fresh summer watermelon and then I like to add in diced apples for a little bit of crunch. You can certainly add in any kind of fruit to this recipe, kiwi, pineapple and mango are amazing in this recipe too!
There is a bit of chopping involved in this recipe, I used one of my favorite kitchen tools to make it super quick! This chopper has saved me countless hours in the kitchen; I use this thing to cut everything… salsa, chili, peppers, onions… you name it! LOVE this thing!
The cinnamon crisps can be made up to 4 days ahead of time, cooled and stored in an airtight container. I usually spray them with cooking spray but you can also brush them with a bit of butter if you prefer. If you don’t want to make your own cinnamon crisps, you can serve this with store bought cinnamon sugar chipsfor scooping. We also sometimes spoon it over ice cream or onto angel food cake (especially if we’re lucky enough to have leftovers because if it sits overnight the fruit releases juices).
It’s amazing how something so fresh and simple can be so delicious, and my kids most certainly think of this as a treat! Fruit salsa is the perfect dish for any occasion and can be servedas an appetizer, snack, dessert or really any ol’ time of day!
