    These Strawberry Mango Salsa Cups are sweet, juicy, crunchy and super easy to make. They’re a great combination of flavors and textures perfect for summer. 

    What I love about summer is all the fabulous fresh fruits that are available. So when Athens Foods challenged me to create a fun summer appetizer recipe using their convenient, ready to use frozen mini Fillo Shells I knew I wanted to pair them with fruit.

    I often serve Strawberry Mango Salsa and Cinnamon Tortilla Chips for summer get togethers. It’s always a hit, but also a little difficult to eat. So I decided it would be fun to use the Athens Mini Fillo Shells to turn it in to an easier-to-eat, easier-to-serve appetizer.

    They’re great for a party because you can make the salsa and bake the cinnamon sugar cups ahead of time. Then right before you serve them you can quickly fill the shells with salsa and they’re ready to serve.

    These Strawberry Mango Salsa Cups are sweet, juicy, crunchy and super easy to make. They're a great combination of flavors and textures perfect for summer.

    My family devoured these. Five of us ate all 30 in less than five minutes. If you’re making them for a party, I’d definitely double the recipe. Your guests will be glad you did.

      Scrumptious, there are no words to describe how good these are!  I’ve made them twice, and ran all over Orlando yesterday trying to find the branded Fillo cups. We cannot stop eating them. They are definitely a new family favorite along with your cheese and bacon hot dogs. Can’t wait to see what you post next!

      These look amazing! I love that you served them as is with no extra creamy stuff so they are bursting with fresh flavor. The mini fillo cups are the perfect edible serving dishes.

      Thee are so cute. I love fruit salsa and this is a great way to make it easy to pop in your mouth. No need to dunk. Love it. Awesome photos too.

      Those would be a BIG hit at summer parties here. We love strawberry salsa-add mangoes? Even better! They’re so pretty too.
