Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Fruit salsa base
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries finely diced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup white peaches or nectarines finely diced
Honey-lime syrup
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1 tbsp fresh mint finely chopped
Serving
  • 1 Cinnamon sugar pita chips or graham crackers for serving

Method
 

Dice and mix
  1. Dice the strawberries and peaches into small, uniform pieces and place them in a medium bowl with the blueberries.
  2. Add the honey, lime juice, lime zest, and fresh mint, then stir gently to combine without mashing the fruit.
Chill and finish
  1. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes so the flavors meld and juices release.
  2. Stir once more before serving, then transfer to a serving bowl and serve with cinnamon sugar pita chips or graham crackers.

Notes

For the cleanest look, keep the diced pieces similar in size and stir gently so the berries stay intact. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; the salsa is best within the first day. Freezing isn’t recommended because the fruit texture can turn watery after thawing. For a dairy-free option, this recipe already is dairy-free—just double-check that your graham crackers or chips don’t contain milk ingredients.
