My daughter recently came home from cooking class with fruit salsa and cinnamon chips. Since she wasn't very impressed with the school's recipe, she asked me if I happened to have a good fruit salsa recipe.
Well, of course I did! Although, I had completely forgotten about this Pineapple Peach Fruit Salsa recipe I created a few years ago (originally for a dessert taco recipe). So I dug it out of the archives... It's 2 Weight Watchers points per serving!
Jump to:
You can use this Pineapple Peach Salsa for whatever you use fruit salsa for - dipping with cookies (Arrowroot cookies are lower WW points) crackers, cookie crisps, cinnamon chips, topping on dessert tacos or on pork, chicken or fish.
It makes a great appetizer, snack or dessert! But what makes it unique is that it has a touch of spicy. I wanted to include a recipe for homemade cinnamon crisps as well, but it was too hot to turn on the oven. So that's for another day.

🥘 Ingredients
The pomegranate dip, spread and marinade I use has a little spicy (chili) bite and that elevates this canned pineapple salsa to an entirely new level. However, if you can't find that particular type of pomegranate spread, then just use the jam/spread and add a touch of chili sauce to your liking (see Recipe Notes).
- dried cherries *can substitute dried cranberries
- canned diced pineapple chunks
- lime juice (from concentrate)
- canned sliced peaches
- blueberries *you can use fresh or frozen
- pomegranate spread * you can substitute pomegranate spread/jam and add a little chili sauce
*see recipe card for quantities
I love this fruit salsa because it isn't just a summer recipe- you can make it in the winter as well, using canned peaches and pineapple and even defrosted frozen blueberries (if you can't get your hands on fresh). I actually created this fruit salsa in the winter using canned fruit. If you're following the Weight Watchers program, this fruit salsa is an excellent low-point dessert or appetizer!
🌡️Storage
Store this fruit salsa in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
📖 Variations
I was never much of a meat and fruit salsa gal until I tried THIS tropical fruit salsa with meat. It goes phenomenally well with chicken or fish but it was completely amazing on grilled pork! So if you are looking for a healthy and easy to make fruit salsa that’s a little different from the ordinary, give this one a try!

Sue and I just started Weight Watchers this week so I love that you have included the points with this! We have sooooo many fresh peaches available locally now so I feel like it would just be rude if I didn't make this! 🙂 Thanks for sharing the recipe, I'm excited to try it!

I love fruit salsas and yours looks fabulous! I think it would be great at Christmas time with dried cranberries, don't you? Pinning!
Melissa
This would be the perfect salad to add to a summer picnic basket! So light and fresh, and I love how easy it is to make. I am going to have to try it on meat as you suggest, I have to admit I am how you used to be (ha!).

Thanks, Melissa! Yes, it will totally turn you when you try this fruit salsa on meat! I was even surprised it was able to turn me 🙂
