You guys – I wasn’t kidding when I said I was having major fruit cravings during this pregnancy. I have at least 3-5 servings of fruit a day (sometimes more!). I just find it so refreshing, especially during these super hot days we’ve been having in the southern part of the country.

In addition to these smoothies and this refreshing salad, I am making some incredible fruity snacks to get me through the hot days.

At the top of my list is this Fruit Salad with Cinnamon Chips. I love how the honey and lemon juice bring out the natural flavors of the fruit. It’s so yummy that I’ve even been eating without the chips.

Today I am sharing that recipe with you guys! It’s super simple and can be done in under 30 minutes. Check it out below!

Fruit Salsa vs Fruit Salad vs Regular Salsa

If you’ve never had or seen fruit salsa before, you’re probably wondering what it is. Is it fruit salad? Is it a salsa with onions and peppers and fruit?

Nope.

Fruit salsa is just a simple term to describe finely diced fruit tossed in a simple dressing, usually including some kind of fruit juice and/or sugar. It does NOT include any other qualities of a standard salsa at all – no peppers, onions, herbs, spices.

In reality, it more closely resembles a fruit salad, just cut into smaller pieces. The small pieces are important so you can scoop the fruit onto a chip.

And speaking of the chip, let’s talk about the best chips to serve with this salsa.

Homemade Cinnamon Chips

When eating something as sweet as this salsa, plain tortilla chips just won’t do. As much as I love the sweet and salty combo, it just doesn’t work here. Instead, a yummy cinnamon chip is just the vessel you need to carry this yummy fruit salsa.

Cinnamon chips are made with flour tortillas that are dusted with cinnamon sugar and then baked to crisp them up. We add a little butter to make sure the topping sticks and the chips get nice and golden.

If you don’t feel like making your own chips, I’ve seen cinnamon sugar pita chips that would also be great with this dip.

Tips & Tricks

1. It’s important to dice the fruit into small pieces. Otherwise, it will be difficult to scoop up salsa onto the chip.
2. After sitting together in the salsa for about a day, the strawberries tend to run and don’t look their best. Therefore, I would not recommend making this salsa ahead of time. However, you can dice the fruit and keep in bowls/storage bags until serving and then toss together. That way, it still looks fresh and vibrant.
