Fresh Fruit Salsa Recipe + Sweet Cinnamon Chips
With it being summer that means we tend to get and enjoy a lot more fresh fruit. We like to use the Good Cook’s Fresh keepers to help keep our fruit and vegetables fresher longer in the fridge until we can make something creative and fun with our produce. Just like our fresh fruit salsa recipe!
Keeping produce Fresh to make a Fresh Fruit salsa Recipe
We recently had an awesome sale on strawberries, blueberries, grapes and kiwi. Well that means it is time to get creative in the kitchen and cook up something delicious! But I always seem to be pulled to other tasks for a day or two before I can actually make something fun with the fresh produce we purchase.
So I was so thankful I had a Good Cook Cantaloupe keeper, Tomato keeper, citrus keeper and grapefruit keeper this last week! Oh they were a lifesaver! I simply washed my fruit and then placed them in the produce keepers and kept them in the fridge. They stayed fresh until I had time to come back and use them. They also keep the produce from getting squished in the drawers or getting shoved to the back of the fridge and forgotten about.
They also have a green pepper keeper, banana keeper and Asparagus keeper that are fantastic too.
I washed all my fresh fruit in a sink of cold water and a splash of vinegar. Let it soak for a few minutes to clean off all pesticides, dirt, or wax buildup. Then rinse and store until you are ready to use them.
I used the Cantaloupe keeper (of which I happen to have two because I love them so much) for storing grapes and strawberries. It is perfect to keep them from getting squished and going bad in the fridge. I stored the blueberries in the grapefruit keeper too.
Because of the nature of Strawberries, they still only last a few days in the keepers. Not a full week. But still better than when they are stored in the silly plastic bins they come in. Grapes have been stored longer than a week in the cantaloupe keeper and are still going strong. Normally my grapes are rotten in just a few days in the fridge in their plastic bag. So I am loving these keepers! We also took grapes in a cantaloupe keeper on our last trip and it helped to keep them fresh and not squished for the entire drive too!
Fresh Fruit salsa and Cinnamon Chips Recipes
After a few days I finally got time to get our fresh fruit salsa made. And man it was delicious! All three kids plus a husband gave it raving reviews! They enjoyed it as the dessert to their summer lunch this week. So lets get to the good stuff of the fresh fruit salsa! You will need:
- 4-5 large strawberries chopped
- 1/2- 1 full peach peeled, pitted and chopped
- Handful or two of chopped grapes. You want to pick ripe and sweet grapes. If you have sour grapes, no amount of sugar in the salsa is going to compensate for sour grapes.
- 1 kiwi peeled and chopped
- 1-2 handfuls of blueberries
- 1 small lime juiced
- 2 minced Peppermint leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup sugar.
- Sprinkle of toasted coconut for garnish.
To get started prepping all your fruit by peeling, chopping and juicing. Place all the fruit into a bowl, add the lime juice, sugar, cinnamon, and minced peppermint leaves.
Peppermint leaves are rather strong, so I only used two very small leaves. If your leaves are bigger than what is shown as the garnish in my pictures, you may want to cut down to only 1 or maybe half a leaf.
Set your fruit mixture aside in the fridge to marinate while you cook up the Cinnamon Chips.
For the Cinnamon chips you will need
- Soft medium flour tortillas
- 2-3 Tablespoons Coconut oil
- Cinnamon Sugar
Cut the flour tortilla into chip shapes while the coconut oil is heating on medium heat. Then lightly fry the tortillas in the coconut oil. Flip the tortilla chips over after the first few minutes and allow the second side to turn golden. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. And you are done! Super easy! And they are so delicious!
Finally remove the Fruit salsa from the fridge and dish up the amount you want. Garnish with the toasted coconut and another mint leaf or two. Surround the salsa with the cinnamon chips and then enjoy!
To my surprise we actually had some left over fruit salsa. So I just put the leftovers into the grapefruit keeper and it is now keeping fresh until I cook up more cinnamon chips at tomorrow’s lunch. The kids can’t wait to have more.

Sweet cinnamon chips? Count this pregnant lady in! They look delicious and would be a new adventure for me in the kitchen!
I love Good Cook products! I recently won some knives with shealths and they are so awesome. This looks like a wonderful recipe. I’d love to try it.
Yum! This looks absolutely amazing. We make something similar here for our summer barbecues.
i love the idea of using coconut oil to fry the tortillas! i may try this next weekends! great ideas
I don’t keep my fruit fresh very well at all, I usually leave it out resulting in ruined fruit. I am going to have to check these out. And the salsa looks AMAZING.
That looks soooo good. I have never had a fruit salsa believe it or not :-)!!! Thanks for sharing!
Wow – that looks so good! I bet that would go over really well at a summer pot luck. 🙂
This looks so good. I don’t know that I have even ever heard of fruit salsa. This is definitely something I would love to try to make. And the cinnamon chips sound like they would go so well with them.
I would love if you could stop by and share with Kids and a Mom in the Kitchen, my weekly kid-friendly recipe linky.

Have a great day!
Just yum!!! I love fruit salsa and often make my own tortilla chips, although I bake mine. I’ve never thought of frying them. I bet they are very tasty that way. thanks for sharing your fruit salsa recipe. I’ll be giving it a try.
Wow this looks so good. I love all fruit, I have done many of fruit salads but not like this. Thanks for sharing plus I am going o try to make some of those tortillas chips.
The chips and salsa look delicious! I would eat it all the time. We just put our produce in the refrigerator and try to eat them before they go bad (which we generally do). We don’t do anything special to preserve them.
That looks delicious! Plus, I think it is something my picky kids would even eat.
Dang girl….that looks delish! I love those fruit keepers too!
I love all the color in the salsa! so appealing!
That looks so good I want to bite my computer screen. Thanks for a great recipe

This is a perfect summer snack that I will be making. Thanks so much for sharing. The photos are fabulous.
This is such a great idea! I’ve made fruit chutney for fish but,I love the tortillas.Pita chips would be good too,not as healthy though. Mango would be yummy to add too:)

I think it is one of my favorite ones too Summer!
Beautiful and looks delicious. I will be pinning and trying this.
Although this looks and sounds amazing I have a huge family and I think it may be a little expensive. But, the cinnamon chips, I never knew they were that easy to make. I will be trying those out soon.
I think this salsa would be great for breakfast. I’d love to use it to top my yogurt.
I can’t even tell you how delicious this looks.. I’m putting all the ingredients on my grocery list right now!
As a kid I remember my mom microwaving flour tortilla with butter and sprinkling with brown sugar and cinnamon. These look so much better, lol

This salsa looks delicious. I have not tried a fresh fruit salsa before, but the combination with the pita chips looks so good.
Fruit salsa hasn’t crossed my mind until now, but looks great!
I never thought to use peppermint leaves in fruit salad. This looks very yummy & I will be trying it out!
Those are great flavors together. I’d leave off the coconut because I don’t like it, but everything else looks yummy.
I am always looking for good fresh fruit recipes. Awesome idea!

This recipe looks very tasty! I would enjoy your fresh fruit salsa with cinnamon chips at my friend’s house.
This would be great to serve for our annual family 4th of July cookout but I would have to substitute all of the coconut as I have a son that is allergic to coconut.
this looks very good and easy to prepare. I am going to make this for the family picnic this weekend
Very healthy — and actually filling as a snack with a spoon. Love the ingredient combination!
This looks delicious! Would be great for a July,4th party
