fruit salsa – kiddie style

If you’re looking for a holiday snack or appetizer for the kiddos… this is it!

When I first heard of this fruit salsa I had my reservations. This Texas girl likes her salsa hot and spicy… not with fruit.

Once I tasted it I was totally on board!

I can’t take credit for this creation. Kelsey’s mom is the genius behind this.

Every little kiddie function we had, Angela show’d up with her fruit salsa and the kids ate it up! It wasn’t until I saw M devouring it that I thought I’d give it a try.

Oh. My. Word. This is so delicious and refreshing.

Fruit salsa + cinnamon sugar pita chips = perfect holiday appetizer/snack for the kiddos. (and grown up kiddos too 🙂 )

The ingredients are simple:

  • 1 apple, peeled, cored, & chopped
  • 5 strawberries, chopped
  • 1 kiwi chopped
  • 2-3 tablespoons orange juice (depending on the thickness you like)
  • 1-2 tablespoons agave nectar (more or less for sweetening)

Put all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse away. You can make it as chunky or as smooth as you like.

Serve immediately or store in the fridge in an airtight container until ready to serve. Serve with cinnamon sugar pita chips.

M loved this so much she barely ate the pita chips. She would dip the pita chip in the salsa and lick the salsa off. And the proceed to double dip, and double dip, and double dip.

    Brilliant!!!! My kid loooooooooves to dip things. I bet I can do something similar with veggies!!! Green “ketchup” anyone??? Why didn’t I think of that?

    And that’s why I wouldn’t eat out of the same dip as a child. Hehe.

    But really, that looks so good! I think I need a food processor or a blender that blends.

    I can’t stand fruit in my salsa, however fruit salsa…I am sold! My kids (me too!) would love this!

    You can never double dip too many times. As long as you have your own bowl 🙂

    Huh…I’ve never heard of a salsa comprised entirely of fruit. How interesting. I bet this would be DELISH in the summer months (with a Corona Light, of course!).

    I love fruit salsas! I usually add a bit of cilantro or mint to make it more salsa like.

    My 2-yr old kiddo double dips ALL the time… he gets his own plate although I’m trying to teach him table manner!
    This tastes so good. Perfect when you have fruits going a little soft! Love your pictures too!
