1 or 2 diced kiwi

1 small can crushed pineapple, drained

1/4 cup diced orange or yellow bell pepper

1 diced jalapeno, seeded (or use 1/2 if you prefer less heat)

Juice from 1/2 of a lime

In a bowl, mix all chopped and diced ingredients, toss with lime juice.  Set aside for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.  Serve with fresh cinnamon chips, recipe below.
