Love those summer melons!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I came across this recipe when I was looking for a side dish for some Mahi Mahi my husband caught back in June. (His fisherman’s tale to come soon.)<\/p>\n

I turned to the internet and with just a few seconds came up with this from Epicurous’ website. I love cantaloupe, especially in the summer when smell of the fresh melons catch you when passing them in the market; and there’s nothing better than a juicy sweet watermelon.<\/p>\n

You have probably made mango salsa many times and if you have tried a fruit salsa with cinnamon tortilla chips, that should be on your list of easy summer sweet endings to your meal. I’ve never really thought of using watermelon or cantaloupe in a salsa but why not; and I think avocado goes well with any fruit salsas. At first I was going to just try the cantaloupe but I had some beautiful watermelon left from the 4th so I thought the more the merrier and decided to use both the melons in this fruity salsa.<\/p>\n

This Salsa makes a great side dish with fish or just about anything you might want to do on the grill. I mentioned fruit salsa above and I think this salsa would also be good with a bowlful of chips, but maybe a salty tortilla chips because who doesn’t salt their melons?<\/p>\n

Hope you enjoy this.<\/p>\n

BLAST FROM THE PAST: <\/strong><\/span>Watermelon Basil Mint Sorbet<\/a> is a sorbet I first made back in 2009. It has had 8,789 views so far and I hope you will give it another “view” and get inspired to try it this summer. I’m always looking for ways to change up a recipe so if you have any ideas, please leave a comment below.<\/p>\n

Watermelon and cantaloupe make this a perfect salsa to go with grilled fish or pork.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_3741\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cut the cantaloup and watermelon into about 1\/4″ dice.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_3744\"<\/a>Mince the parsley. I love this little four wheel cutter. It works great when you have a pile of herbs that need mincing.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_3743\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finely mince the red onion.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_3749\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mince the jalape\u00f1o. I only used one and I could have easily added one more pepper.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_3750\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Peel and pit the avocado and then cut in 1\/4″ dice.<\/p>\n
