WATERMELON SALSA
Summer fruits lend themselves well to delicious twists on salsa (like our Blueberry Salsa in volume 9). This one is juicy and peppery and takes full advantage of seasonal watermelon, avocado and jalapeño pepper.
Ingredients
- 2 cups seeded and diced watermelon
- 1/2 avocado peeled and diced
- 3 Tablespoons lime juice about the juice from one lime
- 1/2 teaspoon chili paste
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 jalapeño pepper seeded and chopped into small pieces
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped (or try mint or basil)
- freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients together in a medium-size mixing bowl.
- Taste and adjust seasonings.
- Serve immediately.
- Any leftovers really will not keep overnight, so eat up :).
Notes
Makes 8–10 (1/4 cup) servings.
Suggest serving with baked tortilla chips or pita chips.
