Ingredients
  

Fruit salsa
  • 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 finely grated
  • 1 tbsp fresh mint finely chopped
Serving
  • 1 Cinnamon sugar pita chips or graham crackers for serving

Equipment

  • 1 medium bowl

Method
 

Make the salsa
  1. Dice the strawberries and peaches into small, uniform pieces and place them in a medium bowl with the blueberries.
  2. Add honey, lime juice, lime zest, and fresh mint to the bowl, then stir gently to combine without mashing the fruit.
Chill and serve
  1. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and juices to release, keeping the fruit glossy and intact.
  2. Stir once more before serving, transfer to a serving bowl, and serve with cinnamon sugar pita chips or graham crackers.

Notes

For the best texture, keep the dice small and similar in size so every bite tastes evenly fruity. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days; the salsa will soften slightly but stays flavorful. Freezing isn’t recommended because the fruit’s texture will break down. If you want a lower-sugar option, swap honey for an equal amount of honey-style syrup (or use a monk-fruit blend) while keeping the lime juice and zest the same.
