Watermelon Salsa

Step One: Cut and Slice

Lay the watermelon on its side and cut the top 1/4 to 1/3 off using a sharp knife or watermelon slicer.

Cut slices into the flesh of the watermelon in a crosshatch pattern without going through the rind.

Make a cut all of the way around the watermelon between the flesh and the rind.

Scoop out the watermelon slices, set them on a cutting board and dice into small pieces.

Hollow out the rest of the watermelon and dump out the juice so that it can be used as a bowl.

Dice enough watermelon to measure one cup for the watermelon salsa and save the remaining watermelon for another use.

Dice one cup of cucumber.

Dice one cup of bell peppers. Use any combination of colors.

Dice one cup of onions.

Chop 1/3 cup of cilantro.

Put the diced watermelon in a bowl and add the cucumbers, bell peppers, onions, cilantro, jalapenos (optional), lime juice, salt, and black pepper.

Mix everything together and taste the watermelon salsa. Add additional lime juice, salt, and black pepper, if needed.

Scoop the watermelon salsa into the hollowed out watermelon bowl.

Serve the watermelon salsa directly from the watermelon bowl.
