Ingredients
- 4 cups Seedless watermelon, diced into very small cubes
- 1 cup Cucumber, diced into very small cubes

- 1/4 cup Chopped mint leaves

The first step to making watermelon salsa is to cut the watermelon and cucumber first. Because watermelon and cucumber are filled with a lot of water it works best if you cut these first and place them in a strainer for about 10 minutes. This helps prevent you from having a watery watermelon salsa!
-
Continue cutting the rest of the ingredients. We like 2 jalapenos in our watermelon salsa with mint, but that might be too much or not enough for you! So you, of course, can alter this. I always recommend doing a little and then add a little at a time until you reach a level of spice that you like. When using jalapenos I usually take out all the seeds and discard to reduce the heat as well.
-
Once all the ingredients are cut (and you have drained the cucumber and watermelon) then place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
-
You can serve this immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
