Fresh fruit salsa - an easy summer treat everyone loves!

A fresh fruit salsa is a fun dessert for summertime! This blend is sweet and tart, and perfect with crunchy cinnamon crackers for dipping. A blend of apples, berries, and mango make this a sweet and colorful treat.

There’s nothing like waiting for the summer months to enjoy the very best berries. Strawberries just taste better when they’re in season, don’t they?

Once you have delicious strawberries available, that’s the time to make this easy fresh fruit salsa.

I love this easy summer dessert/appetizer. It’s full of summer flavor, and bursting with the goodness of lots of fresh fruit.

This fruit salsa can be made in a jiffy! It’s just perfect for a last minute summer party or barbecue. Whether you serve it as an appetizer or as a light dessert, I know you’re going to love this simple recipe.

fruit salsa with strawberries and mangoes

Ingredient Notes

  • Fruit – I used strawberries, apples, and mangoes, and loved that flavor combination. But, you could really use almost any fruit in this recipe. If you don’t like mango, add pineapple. Out of strawberries? Try a different berry. This is a very versatile recipe.
  • Sugar – The amount and type of sugar can be adjusted based on the sweetness of the fruit and your own personal preference. You could also do a natural sweetener like honey or agave syrup instead.

Step by Step Instructions

  1. Finely chop the strawberries and place in a bowl. Be sure to cut the fruit as small as possible. It’s easier to dip things into this salsa if the fruit is finely chopped.

  1. Add the diced apple. I used Fuji apples, but you could use a different variety if you prefer. If you use a tart apple like Granny Smith, you may need to adjust the amount of sugar.

  1. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve this with your choice of crackers. We like homemade gluten free crackers, but graham crackers would also work.

Serving Suggestions

This is a sweeter fruit salsa, and doesn’t have any spice. It’s more of a dessert recipe. I like to serve this with my cinnamon sugar oatmeal crackers (you’ll want to double the recipe). You could make cinnamon sugar tortillas if you’re able to eat wheat – those would be another good option for dipping.

Storage

I haven’t tried to keep this for more than a couple of days – we eat it right up! If you store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, it should stay fresh for about 3 days.

    I could use a piece of summer in my life and this salsa is looking like perfection. I just made a strawberry salsa a couple days ago and put it on salmon – so good! I’ll have to give your recipe a try for my next go round. Hang in there, girl..we’ll get our summer soon, and in the meantime, I hope you stay warm!
