Watermelon Salsa Recipe
Description
This Watermelon Salsa Recipe uses chopped seedless watermelon drained to reduce excess juice, keeping the salsa from becoming soggy. Green bell pepper adds a crunch contrast along with a fresh sharpness from green onions. Lime juice contributes a citrus brightness that lifts the flavors, balanced with the gentle heat of chopped, seeded jalapeno peppers. Garlic salt seasons the mixture evenly, while fresh cilantro added just before serving brings herbal notes.
The result is a vibrant, refreshing salsa with a sweet and mildly spicy flavor. It works well as a topping for grilled meats, fish, or tortilla chips served at casual gatherings or summer meals.
