If you heart watermelon then you will love this fun spin on salsa. It’s a great way to take a classic salsa and serve it up in a new and refreshing way. We just love using the inner shell of the watermelon as a bowl too, it makes us look waaaay fancier than we really are!
This watermelon salsa is a cinch to make and in no time you will look like the queen or king of Pintrest. Mix together chopped watermelon, cucumber, jalapeño, red onion, avocado and fresh mint. Grate lime zest over the top, add a splash of olive oil, freshly squeezed lime juice and a pinch of salt. That’s it…easy peasy and ridiculously tasty. We served it up with some GF multigrain tortilla chips for the win!
