Why You’ll Love This Recipe
If you’re looking for something healthy and delicious to add to your Independence Day menu, this Festive Fruit Salsa is just what you need.
Made with apples, blueberries and strawberries, this salsa is a great summer side and pairs perfectly with all of your favorite backyard barbecue dishes.
With it’s red, white and blue version color scheme, this salsa is perfect for your Memorial Day and July 4 celebrations.
The homemade cinnamon chips are really easy to make, but store-bought cinnamon and sugar pita chips are great too.
Of course, if you don’t need a red, white and blue themed salsa, you can add other fruit too–kiwis are one of my favorites in this recipe!
I really like green apples in this salsa, but any variety will work. In fact, if you use a red variety, you don’t even need to peel them.
The fruit does produce a lot of liquid if it sits for long, so I suggest making it shortly before serving. Or straining off some of the excess juices before serving.
Everyone loves having a fresh, healthier alternative like this fruit salsa at parties and celebrations. Which is probably why whenever I serve this salsa, it’s always one of the first things to disappear!
Be sure to save this recipe to your favorite Pinterest board for later.
