Watermelon Fire & Ice Salsa

When sweet meets heat, good things happen.

This fire and ice salsa pairs juicy chopped watermelon with the snap of fresh jalapeno, bright lime juice, and a handful of cilantro for a salsa that hits every note your taste buds crave.

No cooking required. Just chop, toss, chill for an hour, and let the flavors get acquainted.

It’s diabetic-friendly, naturally low in fat, and works just as well scooped up with tortilla chips as it does spooned over grilled fish or layered on sour cream for a party dip.

Chef Tips

• Remove the jalapeno seeds and ribs for milder heat, or leave them in if you want real fire.
• Use the ripest, sweetest watermelon you can find. The sweetness is what makes the contrast with the heat so addictive.
• Let it chill the full hour. The lime juice softens the watermelon slightly and pulls all the flavors together.

Variations

• Add diced mango or pineapple for a tropical spin.
• Swap the jalapeno for serrano pepper if you want to crank up the heat.
• Toss in some diced jicama for extra crunch.
