When life hands you melons, make salsa! Wait, that's not how it goes. We love watermelon. I buy it, cut it up in chunks. stick it in the fridge and we snack on it. I found this recipe on the Taste of Home site, and it sounded perfect for some holiday weekend snacking.
Change #1- I don't do cilantro. I am in the "tastes like soap" camp. I used parsley instead. The other two changes were minor- yellow bell pepper for the red, and little baby cucumbers that I left the peels on.
Easy, delicious and a wonderful change from traditional salsa, thank you so much to Carolyn B for sharing the recipe!
