Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Crisps
Description
Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Crisps features a vibrant fruit mixture including Granny Smith apples, lemon juice and zest, diced melon or kiwi, strawberries, raspberries, and preserves. The fruit is finely chopped and gently combined, allowing the raspberries to release their juice, enhancing the salsa’s flavor. The accompanying cinnamon crisps are made by spraying flour tortillas with cooking spray, coating them with cinnamon sugar, cutting into wedges, and baking until crisp. This method creates a crunchy, sweet chip that contrasts nicely with the juicy, fresh fruit salsa.
The salsa benefits from sitting at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before serving, which allows the flavors to blend and the fruit juices to mingle. These crisps and salsa work well together as a casual snack or a light dessert, offering both sweet and tart notes along with a crunchy contrast from the crisps.
