Ingredients
3
cups
finely diced seedless watermelon
⅓
cup
chopped fresh cilantro
¼
cup
finely minced red onion
1
large
jalapeno pepper,
seeded and minced
¼
cup
freshly squeezed lime juice
¼
teaspoon
salt,
or to taste
Instructions
In a medium bowl, toss watermelon, cilantro, onion and jalapeno with lime juice. Season with salt. Serve at room temperature (or chilled).
Notes
Use a combination of yellow and pink watermelon to make this a really colorful salsa!
Be sure to take out the seeds and the inside membrane from the pepper- that's the extra-hot stuff.
It's okay to make this early in the day and let it chill until serving. I've found that it's also good the following day. Drain if juices accumulate.
Serve with tortilla chips or slices of jicama.
