What is Fruit Salsa?
Fruit salsa is a popular dish during the summer months, as it is light, refreshing, and healthy. The combination of fruits chopped into small pieces come together for a delicious recipe that resembles traditional salsa, but instead of being savory is sweet.
It is also a great way to incorporate more fruits into your diet. Strawberry Fruit Salsa is a dish with small diced fruit that has a little bit of juice from a lemon, which brings the whole thing together. It can be considered a sweet fruit salad that is in dip form. Instead of using a fork to enjoy it, cinnamon chips or graham crackers as the vehicle to enjoy it.
Tips for Making this Recipe
- Choose ripe raspberries and strawberries. Having ripe fruit will give this homemade salsa with fruit the best flavor and will give you the best results when making this recipe. Look for berries that are bright red, plump, and fragrant.
- Use a sharp knife. To chop the strawberries into small, even pieces it will be much easier if you use a sharp knife. This will ensure that each bite of salsa has a balanced mix of flavors.
