Ingredients

4 cups watermelon
1 cup cucumber
½ cup red onion
1 jalapeno
¼ cilantro
1 juice of lemon
¼ tsp. salt

Instructions

Start by cutting the watermelon into small cubes. Set aside 4 cups into a bowl. Then dice the cucumber and red onion into small, even pieces. Next, seed the jalapeño and finely mince.
In a large mixing bowl, gently toss watermelon, cucumber, red onion, jalapeño, and herbs.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Mix together gently to not break down the fruit.
Let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld together. Serve with chips, on tacos, or over grilled meats.

Notes

Best enjoyed within 24 hours- Watermelon releases juice over time. To make sure it's not too watery, drain watermelon juice before combining ingredients together and serve chilled. Best enjoyed within a day or so of preparing it.
