Strawberry Salsa with Cinnamon Chips is such a fun BBQ treat, perfect for any party. This strawberry basil fruit salsa is so fresh, healthy, and delicious. And the homemade cinnamon sugar tortilla chips are the perfect level of sweetness to go along with the salsa. I always serve this fresh and fun treat on the 4th of July, at a pool party, or on any summer day!
What’s in This Strawberry Salsa Recipe?
Strawberry Salsa combines some of my favorite flavors (strawberry and basil) to create a unique and delicious fruit salsa. Combined with these homemade cinnamon tortilla chips, it makes the best summer appetizer. My kids always request this time and time again in the Summer.
- Flour Tortillas: We used 3 large flour tortillas to make the easy cinnamon chips.
- Cinnamon + Sugar: This mixture makes the chips sweet and delicious! A little bit of granulated sugar also sweetens the salsa itself.
- Olive Oil: Olive oil spray helps the cinnamon sugar mixture stick to the tortillas, while extra-light olive oil helps emulsify the salsa.
- Lemon Juice: Balances out the sweetness of the salsa.
- Salt + Pepper: Enhance the fruity flavor and balance the sweetness of the salsa.
- Basil: Adds a fresh and herbal flavor that’s just so good!
- Strawberries: Fresh strawberries are the best choice for this recipe. Frozen will turn out mushy.
- Balsamic Reduction: This optional addition helps balance the sweetness of the strawberries.
