PIONEER WOMAN WATERMELON PICO DE GALLO (WATERMELON SALSA)



Pioneer Woman Watermelon Pico De Gallo (Watermelon Salsa) image

This is a chunky, dip your chips in, salsa. Although it has jalapeno in it, it is a deliciously addictive refreshing bite, but not a traditional blended salsa. Ree Drummond, Pioneer Woman, explains it best with her comment "First of all, I endured great agony over what to call this unbelievably delicious and delightful concoction that's as scrumptious with a bowl of tortilla chips as it is served on top of grilled chicken or fish. Most normal people would call it Watermelon Salsa. And technically, that would be correct. Salsa, after all, is technically a garnish or sauce made with uncooked vegetables or fruit. But salsa, to me, is...well, salsa. Pureed. Liquidy. Saucy. The soupy stuff you dip your chips in. Now, Pico de Gallo, on the other hand, is chunky. Colorful. Lovely, gorgeous, and fresh." Choose for yourself. Either way people will scarf it up at a potluck or summer party. Enjoy! ChefDLH

WATERMELON & TOMATO SALSA



Watermelon & Tomato Salsa image

Sweet, juicy watermelon and spicy chiles combine to create a surprising summer salsa with a kick. It goes especially well with grilled fish. Watermelon is a refreshing ingredient to use in a salsa. I've combined it with tomatoes and jicama here, and the result is a fruity/vegetal salsa with a kick from chiles, lime and cilantro. Like the other fruit-based salsas I'm featuring this week, I like this with rilled fish, especially light-fleshed fish like halibut or mahi-mahi.

Tips:

  • Choose the ripest watermelon: The sweeter the watermelon, the better the salsa will be. Look for watermelons that are heavy for their size and have a deep red color.
  • Use a variety of colors: For a more visually appealing salsa, use a mix of red, yellow, and orange watermelon. You can also add other fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions.
  • Chop the ingredients into small pieces: This will help the salsa to come together and make it easier to eat.
  • Add some herbs and spices: To give the salsa a little extra flavor, add some fresh herbs, such as cilantro, mint, or basil. You can also add some spices, such as chili powder, cumin, or paprika.
  • Let the salsa chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:
