    Healthy fruit salsa Q&A:

    What to put fruit salsa on?

    If you don't want to eat this fruit salsa as an appetizer or shared dessert, you can definitely put it on top of savory dishes. It's really good on top of fish or as a side to tacos. You can swap the basil with cilantro for a Mexican flavor.

    What do you eat fruit salsa with?

    If you are serving this fruit salsa as an app, you're going to want to eat it with cinnamon sugar pita chips! I've included a recipe to make your own below or you can buy the Stacey's brand at the store.

    How do you make cinnamon chips for fruit salsa?

    Cut the pita into 8ths to form small triangles. Spray each side of the pita with the coconut oil cooking spray and dip both sides into a cinnamon sugar mixture. Lay on prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all of the pita is done. Bake 8-10 minutes, turning the pita chips over halfway through for even baking. Allow to cool slightly.

    How long will fruit salsa last?

    Cover your leftover fruit salsa in an air tight container and keep the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

    Can you freeze fruit salsa?

    Yes, you can freeze fruit salsa. Cover it in an air tight container and place in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

    Now that we've got all the questions answered, let's make this healthy fruit salsa!

    How do you make fruit salsa?

    Fruit salsa is really simple to make! You pick out the fruit, chop and peel it as needed then  mix it together with lemon juice and honey in a large bowl. Serve within two hours for the best result.

    Once you peel, dice and mix all of these together I like bring the whole dish together with a little lemon juice and honey! The lemon juice keeps the fresh fruit bright and colorful and adds a citrus note while the honey brings out the natural sweetness in the rest of the fruit.
