Watermelon Mango Salsa is a Summertime Favorite!
Do you use the jarred salsa in the stores? So do we… But when we came across this recipe, we fell in love! It’s so easy, its flexible (you can adjust the ingredients towards your own taste), AND it is so fresh & fabulous & full of flavor!
Here’s are the ingredients you need:
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lime zest (from approx 1 lime)
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from approx 3 limes)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Freshly ground pepper
- 3 cups seeded & finely chopped watermelon (red or yellow)
- 1 cucumber, peeled, seeded & diced
- 1 mango, peeled & diced
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded & minced
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 8 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Directions:
Stir together the lime zest, lime juice, sugar and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Add the watermelon, cucumber, mango, jalapeño, onion & basil and toss gently.
Chill the salsa until ready to serve & Add the garlic salt just before serving.
Serve with your favorite tortilla chips & refreshing beverages.
Also use on your main course- it was fantastic on our bbq’ed Salmon!

Dinner last night was delicious thanks to the salmon/salsa recipe! Thank you – it made a plain salmon very delicious and really enhanced the presentation of the dish!
That’s fabulous Kathy! So glad you enjoyed it!!
This looks so delicious and refreshing. I love the yellow watermelon! We don’t really have those around here. Do they taste different than the red ones?
Thank you for sharing at the #HomeMattersParty! Looking forward to seeing you back next week.
Hi Jane, The taste is the same. We just wanted to use the yellow for fun & change of color from the common red salsa. 😉
Sounds beautifully refreshing 🙂
This looks delicious, so summery!
