I LOVE strawberry salsa in the summertime. It’s just so fresh, light, and the perfect level of sweet. This fruit salsa recipe is really easy to make and it’s always a hit at parties. All you need is strawberries, lemon juice, fresh basil, olive oil, and a bit of salt and pepper. I’m obsessed with this mixture of flavors, and it tastes like a garden fresh recipe.

How to Make Strawberry Salsa:

1. Combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and basil in a bowl
2. Add in the chopped strawberries and mix gently

Drizzle a raspberry balsamic reduction over the salsa if you like! This just adds an extra kick to the strawberry basil fruit salsa, but it’s not a necessary step.

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray
2. Mix together the cinnamon and sugar in a bowl
3. Stack tortillas on top of each other and cut them into triangles
4. Lay the chips on baking sheet & lightly cover with olive oil
5. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mix over the chips, then flip chips and cover the other side
6. Bake 10-12 minutes
