Sadness! The the end of summer is coming up quick, but there's still time to enjoy that warm weather favorite -- watermelon! So here's a little something different to do with it. As a salsa, it makes for a fun new taste sensation. On one hand it almost seems too light to hold it's own against the other ingredients, but the contrast makes an interesting taste blend and by the you've tried enough samples to decide whether or not you like it, you'll find that the salsa's half gone.
Watermelon Salsa
4 cups seedless watermelon, rough chopped (= about 1/4 of a medium watermelon)
½ purple onion, chopped fine
1 red bell pepper, chopped fine
1 tbsp parsley, chopped fine
juice from 1 lime
2 jalapeno, seeded and minced
*
salt to taste
Combo all ingredients and chill. Can be served with chips, chicken or pork.
*Make sure to wear protective gloves when handling the jalapeno. If you decide to be bold and do it with your naked hands, then PLEASE remember not to rub your eyes or lips because there will be pain…and possibly crying, or at least a lot of whining, and nobody wants to hear that.
For a hotter salsa, you can keep the seeds and not remove the pepper ribs, or you can add another jalapeno.
Cilantro can be substituted for parsley.
To de-sweet the taste a bit, substitute a green bell pepper for the red one.
