With sweet watermelon, crunchy jicama, zesty lime, and a bit of jalapeno, this Watermelon Salsa is fresh, colorful, and so easy to make! Enjoy with tortilla chips, on tacos, or as a topping for grilled meats and fish.

Ingredients

4 c. diced seedless watermelon try to get the pieces fairly small, about 3/8" to 1/2" in size
1.5 c. diced jicama cut the same size as the watermelon
⅓ c. diced red onion cut the same size as the watermelon
2 tsp. seeded and minced jalapeno pepper or more, to taste
½ c. chopped fresh cilantro
½ c. freshly squeezed lime juice
zest of 1 lime
½ tsp. kosher salt

Instructions

In a large bowl, fold together watermelon, jicama, jalapeño, cilantro, red onion, lime juice and zest. Adapt the ingredients to your liking, adding more jalapeño and onion if you like a bit more of a kick.
Sprinkle salt evenly over the top and fold again to combine. Serve chilled or at room temperature with tortilla chips, tacos, or any of your favorite Mexican dishes. Also great with grilled chicken and fish!

Notes

This recipe can easily be prepared earlier in the day - and I actually think it's better after it has chilled in the refrigerator for a few hours, to let all the flavors mingle.

Recipe inspired by our Southern Caribbean cruise on The Breeze with Carnival Cruiseline.
