How to Serve Fruit Salsa

- Scoop it on top of angel food cake, like lemon angel food cake or gluten-free angel food cake.
- Over vanilla ice cream.
- With fried ice cream — a Mexican classic.
- Served with savory dishes on top of fish or tacos.
Storing Leftovers
It’s best the same day, but you can store it in the fridge. Cover your leftover fruit salsa in an airtight container and keep the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you swap in another fruit, like an apple, that tends to oxidize and brown, I don’t recommend storing more than a day.
To freeze fruit salsa, cover it in an airtight container and place in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

Ingredients
- 2 peaches peeled and diced
- 1 mango peeled, cored and diced
- 4 kiwis peeled and diced
- 16 oz strawberries hulled and diced
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice (half a lemon)
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 2 Tablespoons fresh basil chopped
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 10 tortillas flour, gluten-free, or grain-free (Note 1 pita chips)
- Coconut oil cooking spray or melted butter
Instructions
Chop the fruit: Peel and chop all of the fruit in small pieces. Add it to a large bowl and toss to combine.
Mix together: In a small bowl, stir together the lemon juice and honey and mix well. Pour over fruit and mix to combine. Cover and refrigerate while you make the chips.
Prep the cinnamon chips: Preheat oven to 350°F. Note 2 alternative cooking methods. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Toss the cinnamon sugar in a small bowl. Spray the whole tortillas with cooking spray and sprinkle on both sides with cinnamon sugar. Stack them on top of each other and cut into 8 triangles.
Bake: Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. They will crisp more as they cool.
Serve: stir in the fresh basil and toss to mix up the juices. Serve with pita chips
Last step! If you make this, please leave a review letting us know how it was!
Notes
Note 1. Pita Chips. You can use pita chips instead of tortillas. Baking time stays the same!
Note 2. Air fryer tortilla chips: add them to the air fryer basket in a single layer and air fry at 375°F for 5-6 minutes.
