Ingredients
- 4 c. watermelon try to get the pieces fairly small, about 3/8" to 1/2" in size, diced, seedless

- ⅓ c. red onion cut the same size as the watermelon, diced
- 2 tsp. jalapeno pepper or more, to taste, seeded and minced
- ½ c. cilantro chopped, fresh
- ½ c. lime juice freshly squeezed
- lime zest of 1
- ½ tsp. kosher salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, fold together watermelon, jicama, jalapeño, cilantro, red onion, lime juice and zest. Adapt the ingredients to your liking, adding more jalapeño and onion if you like a bit more of a kick.
- Sprinkle salt evenly over the top and fold again to combine. Serve chilled or at room temperature with tortilla chips, tacos, or any of your favorite Mexican dishes. Also great with grilled chicken and fish!

Notes
- This recipe can easily be prepared earlier in the day - and I actually think it's better after it has chilled in the refrigerator for a few hours, to let all the flavors mingle.
- Recipe inspired by our Southern Caribbean cruise on The Breeze with Carnival Cruiseline.
