For a sweeter salsa, use a particularly ripe watermelon. Adjust the amount of jalapeño pepper to your preferred level of spice. Serve chilled with tortilla chips, grilled fish, or as a topping for tacos.
A surprisingly delightful salsa that transforms juicy watermelon into a vibrant and refreshing culinary experience. The sweetness of the watermelon beautifully complements the spicy jalapeño and tangy vinegar, creating a symphony of flavors that will awaken your taste buds.
In a large bowl, gently combine the cubed watermelon, white wine vinegar, chopped cilantro, finely chopped white onion, minced jalapeño peppers, minced garlic, and salt. (5 minutes)
Stir the ingredients together until evenly mixed, ensuring the flavors are well distributed. (2 minutes)
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and fully develop. (8 hours)
