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.
