Description
A plump and ripe, fresh watermelon is one of the highlights of summer. They can be sliced into wedges and gobbled up right from your hands on a hot day, or scooped into balls and added to a fruit salad.
Ingredients
- 3 cups diced seedless watermelon
- 1 cup diced peeled cucumber
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup minced jalapeño pepper, seeds removed
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated lime zest
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Tortilla chips, for serving
Directions
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a large bowl, combine the diced watermelon, diced cucumber, chopped red onion, minced jalapeño pepper, chopped fresh cilantro, and chopped fresh mint.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime zest, lime juice, and salt.
- Add the dressing to the large bowl and gently toss to coat the watermelon salsa.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld together. The salt will help draw out moisture from the watermelon and cucumber to make it the perfect saucy situation.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips or over grilled protein. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
