Instructions
Instructions
- Stir together the lime zest, lime juice, sugar, and black pepper in a large bowl.
- Add the watermelon, cucumber, mangoes, jalapeno, red onion, and basil. Toss gently so the fruit stays intact.
- Cover and chill the salsa for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Add the garlic salt just before serving and stir gently again.
- Serve chilled with pita chips, tortilla chips, fish, or grilled chicken.
Notes
Chill the salsa for at least 2 hours so the flavors can blend. Add the garlic salt just before serving so the fruit does not release too much liquid early. Dice the watermelon, mango, cucumber, and onion small enough to scoop easily with chips. Use seeded jalapeno for mild heat or leave in some seeds for more spice.
