Ingredients
The key to a scoopable fruit salsa is dicing the fruit into small pieces. Swap our any of the fruit below for your favorite fruit, or add it to the mix.
- Strawberries– fresh diced berries are best. Frozen will add too much moisture in this salsa.
- Mango– fresh peeled and diced salsa is best. In this instance, you can use thawed frozen mango.
- Green Apple– love the color of the green apple, however red apples (gala or honeycrisp) would be delicious too.
- Orange Marmalade– this provides the “glue” to hold it all together. Apricot would be a delicious alternative.
- Mint- adds a pop of color and fresh flavor. You can choose fresh or dried mint.
- Ginger– great flavor booster with the fruit!
Add fresh lime juice or lemon juice to your salsa for a burst of citrus flavor.

Loved this fruit salsa!! Literally ate the whole bowl in a sitting… it was that good. Can’t wait to make it again!
What are mint flakes and where do you get them?
You can buy them dried in a jar in the spice aisle…or I’ve used fresh mint, chopped really fine too!

Fruit salsa – one of our favorite summertime treats. I use a combo of strawberries, crushed raspberries, pineapple, kiwi, mango or papaya, peaches, and apple (for crunch) and a bit of sugar to draw out the juices – as you can see, a little more labor intensive, as all fruits should be finely chopped (preferably by hand).
For chips, I spray flour tortillas w/veg. spray, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar (only necessary on one side), cut into triangles, spread on a cookie sheet and bake @ 350 for 5-10 min (watch after 5 minutes, so they don’t burn).
This looks great! I’m always on the lookout for fresh summer recipes. I think this is a keeper.
Katie= I beat you to it!
