Fresh Watermelon Salsa

If you ask me, watermelon is just the epitome of summer. It makes the perfect snack on a warm summer day. It also rounds out a fruit salad beautifully.

But, watermelons are pretty huge right? I always find that I have leftovers no matter what I am using it for.

Well friends, I have the most delicious way to use up that leftover watermelon. Watermelon salsa!

I was inspired to make this salsa by leftover watermelon in my refrigerator and an abundance of jalapeño growing on my jalapeño plant in my garden. I love the little kick that the jalapeño gives the salsa.

However, if you’re not a spicy food lover (which normally I’m not either) feel free to leave the jalapeño out of the recipe. You’ll still have the most refreshing salsa ever.

This salsa tastes great with tortilla chips and served at an appetizer. It would also work beautifully over some burgers, tacos or fish.

The sky is the limit on this one! If you’re looking for a unique appetizer that will really wow the crowd, this watermelon salsa is it!
