Simple Melon Salsa

By krystallondon

Although prettiest with a combo of melons, this salsa will still taste delicious if you only use one. Use whatever garden herbs you’re growing. Salsa will keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days, however stir in herbs just before serving. Delicious straight from the refrigerator or at room temperature.

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups (375 mL) colourful melon,
• preferably a mix of watermelon,

• 2 tbsp (25 mL) lime juice

Preparation

Step 1

1. Put melon in a medium bowl. Dice pepper about the same size as melon. Slice jalapeño in half and taste a tiny piece. The spiciness of jalapeño tends to vary, so if you want salsa to be spicy, finely mince the whole jalapeño, including seeds. Otherwise, discard seeds then mince. Stir in lime juice, oil and salt, then coriander until mixed. Excellent over grilled fish, pork or chicken.
