Watermelon salsais a refreshing, easy to make appetizer using only 5 ingredients! It is similar to pico de gallo, however fresh, juicy watermelon is used in place of tomatoes.
Dice the watermelon. You can finely dice or or leave it larger for a chunky salsa. Add the diced watermelon to a strainer over a bowl and drain any excess juice. Let it stand for 5 minutes while chopping up the onion, jalapeno and cilantro.
Add the watermelon, onion, jalapeno, cilantro and lime juice to a mixing bowl. Mix well. Serve with tortilla chips or try cinnamon sugar pita chips!
Notes
Save the extra watermelon juice and simply drink it (it’s delicious!) or add it to a watermelon basil margarita!
Try different variations by swapping out 1 cup of watermelon for 1 cup of diced peaches, mango or pineapple!
To make this spicy, leave in the jalapeno seeds or try using a habanero pepper.
