What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Foodstuff Redefined: Watermelon Salsa! Want a conversation-starter? The next time you’re in a group, pose the simple question: “Do you eat watermelon WITH or WITHOUT a sprinkling of salt?” Then stand clear and let the debate begin. Some insist that a pinch of salt awakens the taste buds. Others believe it interferes with the natural sweetness. Me? I gotta tell you, I kinda prefer the whole sweet & salty thing. Like mixing buttered movie popcorn with kettle corn. But that’s another story.
WATERMELON SALSA
Ingredients:
1/4 pound seedless watermelon, rind removed and cut into chunks
1 ripe peach, peeled, pit removed, and cut into chunks
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1-2 jalapeΓ±o peppers, stem removed, finely diced
Juice of 1 fresh lime
Raspberry Chipotle seasoned salt (optional)
Instructions:
Combine watermelon, peach, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeΓ±o peppers. Gently toss all ingredients together. Squeeze fresh lime juice over all. Chill one hour. Before serving add a sprinkling of raspberry chipotle seasoned salt or have the shaker available as an option.
I’ll have to try this. Watermelon is far more versatile than I previously realized. I recently had it on a salad at an Italian restaurant in Manhattan, and it was amazing!
