Fruit Salsa Recipe

This Fruit Salsa Recipe is fresh, flavorful, and perfect for summer. It goes well with sweet and savory dishes and is great as a side dish.

It’s been getting hot here lately, and I’ve been craving all the fresh fruit. This Fruit Salsa Recipe satisfies all those cravings, but it’s also slightly savory, so it goes well with so many different meals.

I see a lot of fruit salsa recipes that are more like fruit salad, and they’re served with sweet cinnamon sugar chips. I like that idea, but I think fruit tastes great with onion, garlic, lime juice, and salt. Definitely don’t knock it till you’ve tried it!

Why Your Body Will Love This Fruit Salsa

• Digestive Health – Pineapples are an excellent source of fiber, which is great for keeping our digestive systems running smoothly. They also contain the enzyme bromelain, which aids in breaking down protein, making digestion and nutrient absorption easier. 
• Vitamins – Mangos are an excellent source of vitamins, including magnesium, potassium, and mangiferin, all of which contribute to heart health; lutein, zeaxanthin, Vitamin A, and beta carotene, which contribute to eye health; and Vitamins C and E (along with A, mentioned above), which are important for our immune health.
   
•  
  Prebiotics – Along with many benefits, including vitamins, hydration, and fiber, Jicama contains a prebiotic fiber called inulin, which feeds the beneficial bacteria in our guts, shielding against harmful bacteria and infections. 

Fruit Salsa Recipe Ingredients

• Pineapple – I used a fresh pineapple that I cut into pieces. If you want, you can use canned pineapple.
• Mango – I peeled one medium-sized mango, cut the fruit from the seed, and diced it up. I often see pre-diced mango sold at the grocery store, which would be a great option.
• Strawberry – Fresh strawberries add great flavor and color to this fruit salsa.
• Jicama – Jicama is actually a root vegetable, not a fruit, but it has a nice crunch and a slightly sweet taste, so I thought it would go perfectly in this fruit salad, and it was great! I bought some pre-diced jicama from Trader Joe’s, which worked great.
• Red Onion – I used red onion because I loved the purple color in this fruit salsa, but white onion would work great, too.
• Garlic – I used two cloves of minced garlic. I would recommend fresh garlic rather than pre-diced garlic for this recipe.
• Cilantro – Cilantro gives this fruit salsa a great fresh flavor! I like to use a big handful, but if you don’t like cilantro, you could leave it out or substitute it with a fresher herb, like mint or parsley.
• Lime Juice – I like to use freshly squeezed lime juice rather than the stuff sold in the bottle, but either will work.
• Salt – To taste.

How To Make The Best Fruit Salsa Recipe

1. Start by dicing up all your ingredients. I like to dice everything into fairly small pieces so that the fruit salsa resembles pico de gallo.  I dice the jalapeño up a little smaller than everything else so no one gets a big bight of it.
2. To a large bowl, add the chopped mango, strawberries, pineapple, jicama, red onion, jalapeno, and garlic. Next, add a handful of chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix everything together, have a taste, and add more salt if needed.
3. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to four days. Serve with corn chips.
