This fresh watermelon salsa is a delicious twist on the classic! This sweet, savory appetizer recipe is great on chips or as a topping on chicken and fish.

Watermelon is a sure sign of summer around here. It’s always on sale at the market this time of year, and we get lots of it from our farm share later in the season. We love snacking on it plain, but it’s also fun to use it in different types of recipes.

This fresh watermelon salsa is a surprising burst of flavors. Typical salsa components like cilantro, lime, and cumin work really well with the bright taste of watermelon and fresh mint. My family was surprised by how much they enjoyed this, so I’ll be serving it often this season.
