Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Tortilla Chips

Fruit salsa is a fun summer recipe;great as a party appetizer or a family snack. For the best flavor substitute whatever fruit is in season or your family's favorites. Try bananas, peaches, raspberries, etc.

All this luscious fruit is full of antioxidants and fiber and is great for your health. Cut the fruit into small pieces so they'll be easy to scoop or leave in larger chunks to serve as a fruit salad. The sugar in the salsa is optional and your tastes as well as the fruit used will determine if it's necessary. You may substitute other sweeteners for the sugar such as honey, agave, or apricot preserves.
