Watermelon Salsa //
There’s nothing better than a quick and simple homemade salsa! The flavors are robust and so fresh with a medley of vegetables, cilantro, and…. WATERMELON (the secret ingredient that has made this my new summertime favorite)!
This Watermelon Salsa is delicious served as an appetizer with some salty tortilla chips … or it can be used as a fresh topping on poultry or fish. (I even love eating it completely plain — straight out of the bowl with a spoon!) You can even add a heaping spoonful into the center of a sliced avocado and eat it for lunch. (YUM!)
The salsa will remind you of your favorite pico de gallo, only better! The sweet bites of watermelon… combined with chopped bell peppers, jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro balance the amazing flavors present in the dish!
Not only is it clean and healthy… it’s pretty to look at, too! Don’t you think?
This Watermelon Salsa would taste fabulous with roasted corn, black beans, chunks of fresh avocado, or sliced cherry tomatoes thrown in the mix. (I love a recipe that’s easy to customize according to what you have on hand!) It’s the perfect appetizer to bring to an upcoming Fourth of July Party or summertime soiree! Enjoy, friends!

I love watermelon, but I have never seen it used in a salsa before. You are a pro at chopping! That skill is important for this recipe. I love coriander. Here we call it cilantro. This is the perfect marriage of sweet with savory! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your low-carb ideas!! I wish you loads of luck on your diet! I feel I have an ally now!

Sounds weird but looks good and I am pretty sure it will taste good as it has all the ingredients that lie in my good book.
