Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Fruit salsa base
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely diced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup white peaches or nectarines, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped
For serving
  • 1 Cinnamon sugar pita chips or graham crackers for serving

Method
 

Dice and mix the fruit
  1. Dice the strawberries and peaches into small, uniform pieces and place them in a medium bowl with the blueberries.
  2. Add the honey, lime juice, lime zest, and chopped mint, then stir gently to combine without mashing the fruit.
Chill to meld flavors
  1. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and juices to release, keeping it cold throughout.
Serve
  1. Stir once more before serving, then transfer to a serving bowl and serve with cinnamon sugar chips.

Notes

Pro tip: keep the fruit pieces uniformly small so every bite gets fruit, syrup, and mint. Refrigerate in a covered container up to 2 days; stir gently before serving again. Freeze: no. Dietary swap: use agave nectar instead of honey for a similar syrupy sweetness.
