Fresh, Fruity Summer Salsa
I love the vibrant taste and colors of fresh salsa in the summertime. While I typically stick to traditional ingredients like tomatoes, onions, peppers, and garlic, I find this fruity variation very refreshing and oh-so-addicting! On that note, you may want to make a double-batch, just sayin'. It is versatile, so use the combination of fruits that sound good to you.
Ingredients
- 2-3 cups of watermelon (or cantaloupe), 1/2-inch dice
- 4 scallions, finely chopped (white and green parts)
- 1 mango, 1/2-inch dice (or 1/2 cup of diced pineapple or peaches)
- 1 inch knob of fresh ginger, peeled and minced
- 1/2 jalapeno pepper, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley (or cilantro), with stems, finely chopped
- Juice of 2 limes or 1 lemon
- 1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 3 TBSP olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine all ingredients except for the avocado.
- Once mixed, gently add in the avocado using a rubber spatula/scrapper.
- Enjoy with tortilla chips or spooned over grilled fish or chicken.
