Watermelon Salsa

Watermelon season is here.

My husband made our first watermelon salsa.  It is a refreshing, sweet,

savory, spicy, tangy, crunchy take on the traditional tomato salsa.

What else can I say, besides it is delicious!  This is a great salsa

for the summertime when watermelon are abundant.

The recipe  is full of vitamin C ingredients like green bell peppers and lime juice.

This is a great accompaniment to grilled pork or chicken.

This recipe is a take from the Watermelon  Salsa Recipe posted on line

from the-girl-who-ate-everything.

  

Ingredients:

• 1/4 medium watermelon, (about 2 cups)
• 1/2 medium cucumber (peeled, seeded, chopped) 
• 1/4 cup red onion
• 1/4 green bell pepper
• 1 jalapeno (seeded)
• 1/4 cup cilantro
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/2 fresh lime, ( juiced)

Assemble ingredients.

Dice fresh watermelon.

Place in strainer to drain off excess juice.

Peel, seed, and chop 1/2 medium cucumber.

Add to strainer.

Finely chop 1/4 cup red onion.

Add to other ingredients.

Chop 1/4 green bell pepper.

Seed and finely dice 1 jalapeno pepper.

Chop a handful of fresh cilantro, 1/4 cup.

Finely cut 1 tbsp. fresh basil.
(Scissors work well for this.)

Discard  juice strained from watermelon.

Add all chopped ingredients to bowl.

Add 2 tbsp. honey.

Squeeze 1/2 fresh lime into bowl.

Mix well and refrigerate for at least one hour,
so flavors can blend and marinate together.

Enjoy!
