Fresh Fruit Dessert Salsa

Ingredients

  • 1 pineapple
  • 1 orange
  • 1 lemon
  • 2–3 red apples
  • About 4 cups fresh strawberries
  • 2–3 apricots
  • 1 green chili
  • 1 red chili
  • 2 ears of corn
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • Fresh cilantro, to taste

How to Make the Fruit Salsa

  1. Dice the pineapple, apples, strawberries and apricots into small, bite-sized pieces.
  2. Finely chop the green and red chili.
  3. Remove the corn kernels from the cobs.
  4. Add the fruit, chili, corn and fresh cilantro to a large bowl and gently toss together.
  5. Squeeze the juice from the orange and lemon into a separate small bowl.
  6. Stir the cinnamon and honey into the citrus juice until combined.
  7. Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss.
  8. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to allow the flavors to come together.

Cinnamon-Caramelized SeedBoost

The finishing touch is SeedBoost lightly coated in cinnamon and caramelized sugar. It gives the fresh salsa a crispy, sweet contrast and turns the dish into something that’s somewhere between a fruit salad, salsa and dessert.

Ingredients

  • 2–3 packs SeedBoost, such as Sesame & Chia
  • About ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

How to Make the Caramelized SeedBoost

  1. Add the SeedBoost to a large frying pan and warm gently over low heat.
  2. Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon over the SeedBoost.
  3. Continue cooking over low heat, gently tossing, until the sugar begins to melt and lightly coat the crackers.
  4. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.

To Serve

Spoon the chilled fruit salsa into a serving bowl and serve the caramelized SeedBoost alongside for scooping and dipping.

For a party or summer table, you can also arrange the salsa in individual bowls and add a few pieces of caramelized SeedBoost just before serving to keep them crisp.

A Fresh Take on Summer Snacking

This recipe is all about contrast: juicy fruit and crispy seeds, sweetness and spice, fresh citrus and warm cinnamon.

And that’s part of what makes SeedBoost so versatile. Enjoy it straight from the pack, pair it with savory toppings—or give it a sweet twist and turn it into an easy summer dessert.
