Comments

I sampled this watermelon salsa recipe at a local farmers market and received positive feedback from the public. They liked how refreshing it was in the summer heat. 

This is a fun and tasty recipe that often surprises the kids I've worked with as most have never had watermelon like this before! It's a great way to add a nutritious sweet and savory topping to dishes like nachos, burritos or quesadillas!
