WATERMELON CUCUMBER SALAD

Watermelon Cucumber Salad image

All of my friends loved this tasty, refreshing watermelon salad, so I thought I would add it as my first Allrecipes recipe. It was inspired by another recipe on here, but strayed far enough from the original that I thought it deserved its own recipe. Enjoy.

PICO DE GALLO -- A MEXICAN FRUIT SALAD

Pico De Gallo -- a Mexican Fruit Salad image

I spend 7 hours today serving this delicious salad at a fiesta fundraiser at my daughter's school here in California. Pico de Gallo is usually known as a type of salsa, but in this case, it is a popular fruit salad spiced with a red chili powder that is popular in Mexico. Sounds odd, but it's a delicious and addictive combination. You dice the fresh fruits into chunk size pieces and mix them together in any combination you like. Today, we combined watermelon, mango, pineapple, cucumber and jicama. I will list popular fruits and veggies that can go in it and you can customize your mix.
