This Watermelon Salsa is the ultimate summer delight that brings a refreshing twist to your salsa game. Imagine bites of juicy watermelon joining hands with zingy lime and spicy jalapeños—all while the red onion adds just the right amount of crunch. Perfect for scooping with chips at a barbecue, dolloping on top of fish tacos, or simply savoring with a spoon while lounging on your porch. Light, vibrant, and utterly irresistible!
Begin by slicing a chilled watermelon in half and scoop out 3 cups of cubed flesh into a large mixing bowl.
Add 1/2 cup of finely chopped red onion to the bowl with the watermelon.
Dice one jalapeño, removing the seeds if a milder salsa is desired, and add it to the bowl.
Chop a small handful of fresh cilantro and mix it into the salsa base.
Squeeze the juice from two limes over the salsa mixture, ensuring everything is coated with the tangy citrus flavor.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the top, then gently stir all the ingredients until well combined.
Taste and adjust the salt or lime as desired, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve the watermelon salsa with tortilla chips, over freshly grilled fish, or with any of your favorite summer dishes.
