MELON MOJITO SALSA RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Cooking Tips/Variations Since watermelon is so, well, watery...spread out the diced pieces on a couple sheets of paper towels to dry them slightly before mixing with the other ingredients. Dislike cantaloupe? No problem! Use diced mango. To save time, look for a tray of pre-cut melon chunks in the produce section of your grocery store. The three melons in this recipe are often packaged together. Then you'll simply need to dice them into smaller pieces. Want it spicy? Add one very small, finely minced jalapeño pepper OR a squirt of Sriracha hot sauce.
