Ingredients
For the Fruit Salsa:
16 ounces strawberries, hulled and finely diced
1 medium apple (Pink Lady, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and finely diced
3 kiwis, peeled and finely diced
1 ripe mango, peeled and finely diced
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
For the Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips:
3 (6-inch) round pita breads (white or whole wheat)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1. Prepare the Fruit Salsa
Combine:
In a large bowl, combine diced strawberries, apple, kiwi, and mango.
Whisk:
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
Toss:
Pour the honey-lemon mixture over the fruit and gently toss to evenly coat.
Chill:
Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
2. Make the Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips
Preheat:
Preheat oven to 375°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut:
Slice each pita into 8 wedges and carefully separate layers to create thinner chips.
Brush:
Arrange wedges on the baking sheet and brush with melted butter.
Mix & Sprinkle:
In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the buttered pita wedges.
Bake:
Bake for 8–10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Cool:
Allow chips to cool completely; they will crisp up further as they cool.
Notes
Dice fruit into small, even pieces for the best texture.
For extra flavor, add a tablespoon of finely chopped fresh mint to the salsa.
Store fruit salsa in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Pita chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for 2–3 days.
