Serves8

Ingredients

  • 4 cup Seedless watermelon, diced into very small cubes
  • 1 cup Cucumber, diced into very small cubes
  • 1 cup Red onion, diced
  • 2 Small jalapeƱo peppers, minced
  • 1/4 cup Chopped mint leaves
  • 3/4 cup Chopped cilantro leaves
  • 1 Lime, zested and juiced
  1. The first step to making watermelon salsa is to cut the watermelon and cucumber first. Because watermelon and cucumber are filled with a lot of water it works best if you cut these first and place them in a strainer for about 10 minutes. This helps prevent you from having a watery watermelon salsa!

  2. Continue cutting the rest of the ingredients. We like 2 jalapenos in our watermelon salsa with mint, but that might be too much or not enough for you! So you, of course, can alter this. I always recommend doing a little and then add a little at a time until you reach a level of spice that you like. When using jalapenos I usually take out all the seeds and discard to reduce the heat as well.

  3. Once all the ingredients are cut (and you have drained the cucumber and watermelon) then place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

  4. You can serve this immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
