Spicy Sugar Kiss Melon Salsa

By á-36929

This salsa is the perfect summer barbecue appetizer or an ideal poolside snack. And it happens to be one of my favorite salsa recipes of all time!The Sugar Kiss melon is the star here, and it makes for a salsa that is slightly sweeter than spicy. The flavors are not only fantastic with salted tortilla chips, but they also work perfectly on top of grilled chicken or fish. And it is wonderful over quesadillas, too!You could even add this to a big bowl of baby lettuces for a delightful melon salad!

Recipe Note:
While this salsa is best when eaten as soon as possible, it's still delicious the next day! (The longer it sits, the more excess liquid there might be -- you can easily drain this off -- and save it as it makes for a wonderful salad dressing!)
