Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Chips

This fruit salsa is sweet, juicy and refreshing and is served with the most amazing cinnamon chips. A super fun appetizer, snack or dessert option!

This fruit salsa is so fun to make, and even more fun to eat! Typically when I think of fruit salsa, I think of the type that’s kind of a sweet and savory blend to put on top of chicken or in a taco. But this recipe is purely sweet, and it makes for a fun party snack or unique dessert offering.

I went tropical with this fruit salsa and made it a blend of pineapple, mango, strawberry and kiwi. The key to this recipe is to dice the fruit very finely and use canned crushed pineapple. If the chunks of fruit are too large, they’ll fall right off the chips. Speaking of the chips, the homemade cinnamon sugar tortilla chips that go with this salsa are absolutely amazing. My 4 year old may have possibly eaten a whole tray of them herself!

What I love about this fruit salsa is it’s bright, colorful, and super easy to put together on short notice. I also love how refreshing it is on a hot summer day. You can mix and match your favorite kinds of fruit here – other great options would be diced mandarin oranges, apple,  melon or even grapes. I don’t add any sweetener to this fruit salsa, once it’s paired with the sugar coated chips the sweetness level is just perfect.

This recipe is as simple as can be – all you have to do is dice the fruit, mix it with a little pineapple and lime juice, and serve! The longest part of the process is getting the fruit cut up. The cinnamon chips can be made a few days in advance if you’re the type that likes to plan ahead.

I’m definitely serving this fruit salsa at my next gathering, both kids and adults go crazy for it!
