Fruit Salsa




This is a really simple, quick, healthy and tasty recipe that is perfect to take to a potluck or party and would be a great dish for this weekend to take to any of your labor day festivities. It is cool and refreshing and full of tart crunchy granny smith apples, sweet red strawberries, kiwi and orange.

Fruit Salsa:
-2 medium Granny Smith apples
-1 pint strawberries, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
-2 kiwi, peeled and diced
-1 small orange
-2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
-2 tablespoons strawberry jelly

1. Peel, core and slice apples. Coarsely chop them up. Dice strawberries and kiwi. Place fruit in a medium size bowl.
2. Zest orange, measuring out to 1 teaspoon. Juice orange to measure 2 tablespoons juice. Add orange zest, juice, brown sugar and jelly to fruit mixture; mix gently. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
3. Spoon into serving bowl. Serve with store-bought Cinnamon Chips or Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips or make your own (recipe following).

Cinnamon Sugar Chips:
-1 large bag of your favorite torilla chips
-cooking spray
-a mix of cinnamon and sugar
