Pink Watermelon Salsa Recipe
Everyone enjoys watermelon in the summer. However, there always seems to be a few wedges left over after everyone has gone. What do you do with them? You make watermelon salsa! This refreshing fruit salsa is great on chips, especially if they have cinnamon on them. You can also serve it on fish or chicken. Make it extra chunky and you can eat it like a salad. It is sweet with a touch of heat and crunch. Yum!
One of the really fun things about watermelon salsa recipes is the colors you get to play with. While most people will call traditional watermelons red, once you chop them up, they tend to have a vibrant reddish-pink color. Then you can use yellow watermelons or orange watermelons. Watermelon salsa makes a nice change of pace from traditional salsas. Try it on your homemade tacos for a hint of sweetness with your savory flavors.
Watermelon salsa recipes are sure to be a hit with the kids. Make it milder by removing all the seeds in the jalapenos for them. If you like it a little hotter, leave a few of the seeds in for heat. This is a great recipe for making the most of your watermelon. Since watermelons are so large, it is sometimes difficult to think of ways to use it all up before it spoils. This recipe solves your problem. You will be lucky if you have any watermelon left for anything else. You can also play around with the ingredients a little. Add in some pineapple or cucumber if you like or anything else that sounds good.
