A fresh fruit salsa is a fun dessert for summertime! This blend is sweet and tart, and perfect with crunchy crackers for dipping!
How’s that for a summery recipe? ^^^
I just had to make something extra fresh and bright to celebrate the fact that it’s not snowing and freezing here…finally. I have nothing against snow, but when it’s mid-April and snowing, it gets a little depressing.
This week, though, there are signs of spring – it’s warmer, the sun is out, the birds are singing, and generally the weather is behaving in a normal way. :)
I thought this would be a good time to share my recipe for 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 easy fruit salsa can be made in a jiffy! Perfect for a last minute summer party or barbecue. 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.
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, that would be another good option for a dipper!

I’m so excited that spring is here because my favorite fruits, like strawberries, are going to be in season now! Beautiful fruit salsa, Kelly!
Thanks so much, Lisa!
I’m so ready for warmer weather! Simple and healthy recipes like this one are my favorites. My kids would love to snack on this fruit salsa, and your homemade crackers look really good, too!
Thank you, Kristine!
I love three fruits paired together – texture and taste wise – they compliment each other so well! Yay for warmer temps! :)
Thanks, Shashi!
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!
That salmon looked amazing! Hope you are having some summery weather this weekend!
Yum! I could eat a big ol’ bowl of this with a spoon! Yum!
Here’s hoping you get some glorious spring sunshine really, really soon! xo
Thank you, we have some sun this week, yay!
