Description

Pineapple Watermelon Salsa is made with fresh fruit and veggies for a refreshing summer appetizer or taco topping recipe for parties, barbecues, and more. Make it ahead of time for easy snacking!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup diced seedless watermelon
  • 1/2 cup diced fresh pineapple  
  • 2/3 cup chopped red onion or shallot
  • 1 jalapeño, deseeded and chopped
  • 2 teaspoon rice vinegar or dry sherry
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro 
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt/pepper to taste 

Instructions

  1. Prepare your vegetable by chopping/dicing them to the desired salsa thickness (See notes).
  2. Place all of the first 6 ingredients into a non-reactive serving bowl. Mix in the chopped cilantro and splash of lime juice. Mix together. Salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Chill – Place in fridge and allow it to chill for at least 30 minutes. Can make up to 12 hours ahead.
  4. Stays fresh (covered) in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

I prefer to chop/dice the watermelon and pineapple a bit on the larger side. This helps to prevent the fruit from turning soft too early. It also makes for a great meat/seafood topping.
