Easy Watermelon Salsa

My Easy Watermelon Salsa recipe is summer in a bowl. Watermelon is combined with red onion, jalapeño pepper and garlic before being finished with some chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime for added zing. When I make this fresh watermelon salsa for my family, the kids devour it. It is perfect as a topping on fish tacos, rice bowls or alongside chips.

Easy Watermelon Salsa

Method

  1. 1

    Chop the watermelon into small chunks, then remove any seeds. Thinly dice the red onion.

  2. 2

    Cut the jalapeno in half to remove the seeds and white flesh from the center, as it’s the spiciest part. Then, thinly dice it.

  3. 3

    Combine the watermelon, red onion, and jalapeno with minced garlic and chopped cilantro in a large bowl. Add lime juice and salt.

  4. 4

    aste it and add more salt if needed.

  5. 5

    Serve it with your favorite Mexican style dish, rice bowl or fish tacos.

Notes

This recipe tastes the best when it's freshly made. If you let it sit for too long, watermelon will absorb an intense onion taste and turn it into more of a juicy mess than you'd like.
