This Fruit Salsa Recipe with Cinnamon Chips is made with 6 different types of fruit and is served with baked cinnamon sugar tortilla chips for a fun appetizer or healthy dessert!
There’s nothing like a big bowl of fresh fruit salsa served with cinnamon chips to make me miss the warm summer days.
Is anyone else missing the sunlight these days?! There’s pretty much been three weather patterns in Pittsburgh this month:
- freezing and cloudy
- snowy and cloudy
- rainy and cloudy
Notice how they’re all…cloudy. I’m starting to think that there’s definitely something to those light therapy lamps used to treat Seasonal Affective Disorder. If only I lived in Miami or Cancun or Santa Monica. I’d be so warm and tan!
But since I don’t, the next best thing is to bring some warm sunny vibes into my life through food. Meaning all the fruit!
This fruit salsa contains a total of six different types of fruit – seven if you count the fresh lemon juice. I chose some of my favorites like blueberries, kiwis and apples, but it’s very customizable and can be made with whatever fruit you have.

To take it to the next level and make it party and dessert worthy, I served it along with some crunchy cinnamon chips. I was first introduced to these chips by my best friend. She brought it over as an appetizer once when John and I were throwing a party. I thought it was such a great healthier appetizer idea! I owe this recipe to her.
To make, all you need is some cinnamon, sugar, nonstick cooking spray and soft-taco size flour tortillas.
For the cooking spray, I actually use a refillable oil sprayer that I use with my own olive oil. It’s super affordable and saves me money in the long run because I don’t have to keep buying those cans in the store. The one I have is The Misto, but I’ve also heard great things about the Evo.
Whether served as a fun party appetizer or a healthy dessert, this fruit salsa will not disappoint!
How long does fruit salsa last?
Fruit salsa lasts about one week in the fridge. After that, the fruit starts to get mushy and watery.
Can you freeze fruit salsa recipe?
Kinda. You can freeze it, but once it’s thawed, the texture just won’t be the same. However, since the salsa is literally made up of only fruit, it’s perfect for throwing in your morning smoothies, oatmeal or yogurt!
How long do cinnamon chips last?
Cinnamon chips last about two weeks in a zip lock bag in the pantry.
