Ingredients
  

For the fruit salsa
  • 1.5 cup fresh strawberries finely diced
  • 2 kiwis peeled and finely diced
  • 1 cup fresh mango finely diced
  • 1 cup blueberries halved
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint finely chopped
For the cinnamon sugar pita chips
  • 4 pita breads or flour tortillas cut into triangles
  • 4 tbsp butter melted
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon

Equipment

  • 2 sheet pan

Method
 

Bake the cinnamon sugar pita chips
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush the pita triangles on both sides with melted butter and toss them with cinnamon sugar until evenly coated.
  2. Spread the chips in a single layer on baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and crispy, then cool completely so they stay crunchy.
Make and chill the fruit salsa
  1. Combine the strawberries, kiwis, mango, and blueberries in a bowl. Stir in honey, lime juice, lime zest, and fresh mint to coat the fruit.
  2. Taste the salsa and adjust honey or lime as desired. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve
  1. Serve the fruit salsa chilled in a bowl with the warm cinnamon sugar pita chips alongside. Garnish with lime wedges if you like.

Notes

For the brightest flavor, dice the strawberries, kiwi, and mango fairly small and similar in size so every bite tastes balanced. Refrigerate the fruit salsa in a covered container for up to 3 days; the chips should be stored separately at room temperature and added right before serving (freezing not recommended for best texture). For a lower-sugar option, replace honey with a honey-style sugar-free syrup and adjust to taste.
