Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips

Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips

I usually don’t crave salty foods, I prefer sweets. I don’t have A sweet tooth, I think ALL of my teeth are sweet:) Chips and salsa are an exception-that is my “go to” salty snack. I love Josh’s mango salsa-it is my favorite. I love the sweetness the mango brings to the mix-see I try to sneak in sweets wherever I can:) The other day I was in the mood for chips and salsa, but didn’t have any fresh cilantro. I was too lazy to run to the store, so I made a batch of fruit salsa instead.

I combined strawberries, kiwi, blackberries, and blueberries. I added a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a tiny drizzle of agave nectar and stirred everything together. I was going to make homemade pita chips, but again my laziness got in the way, so I opened a bag of Stacy’s Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips. Have you tried these? They are heavenly, be careful though-they are very addicting.

So what started as a salty craving, ended in a new favorite sweet snack. My salty craving was easily transitioned into a sweet version of chips and salsa. My sweet side always takes over:) Fruit salsa is easy to prepare and a beautiful dish to share. I think this will be my staple summer party food-perfect for picnics, bbq’s, and pool parties. And don’t forget about Cinco de Mayo-get the party started with fruit salsa!

Squeeze of fresh lemon juice

    YUM!!! The first time I had the cinnamon pita chips I didn’t like them. But a month or so ago I tasted them again (I stole one from a party some of the nurses were having!) and loved them. I bet they go great with this dip!

    Nice idea. I’m the opposite of you. I don’t really like sweets. I like savory, but then every now and again I want something sweet. But, I like salt on my fruit and vanilla ice cream.

    I have made these before! I have made the chips though, just with pita bread sliced into chip size and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar (maybe we put a teeny bit butter on top? cant remember….) and we made fruit salsa but with slightly different fruits, thanks for the reminder of this, I am going to make sure we make it for my graduation party two weekends from now, delish!

    A perfect idea for summer! Those chips are really good, but I haven’t had them in forever – thanks for the reminder :)

    What a great idea for Cinco de Mayo! And whilst I am not a huge tomato salsa eater, I suspect I’d dive straight into this fruit salsa! :D

    I’m totally in the same boat as you — all my teeth are sweet! I’ve never been a chip snacker; I always reach for fruit instead. Or, on days like today, a warm chocolate chip cookie from the bakery down the street…

    Awesome! I have three tiny boys who would love something like this for a snack. It would be nice to have something that I wouldn’t feel guilty about munching on with them, too! Really great idea.

    Ooh… This looks incredible. A friend made some fruit salsa with homemade baked cinnamon tortilla chips last year, and it was wonderful. I’ll have to look for those Stacey’s chips and make some of this for a snack. :)

    This looks SO good. I too have a penchant for sweets. Salty’s fine but sugar makes me happy. ;)

    I bet this would great served at a party! It’d be a neat alternative to a regular fruit salad.

    made this as part of a multiple-salsa spread at a party on friday…altered to fit what fruits were available, used blue/strawberry, kiwi, pomegranate, tangerine, and lemon & lime juice, as well as mint. it was SO good! it went fast. thanks so much for the inspiration! also: for those who live near a trader joe’s, they make a sweet pita snack that works well with this salsa.
