Spicy Watermelon & Corn Salsa

By , About.com Guide

Definitely not your average salsa, this wonderful watermelon and corn salsa stands apart from the tomato variety. A little spicy, a little sweet, this salsa works great as an appetizer served with corn chips. It can also be used as a condiment for tacos, burritos, or even a turkey burger!

Prep Time: 1 hours, 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups diced watermelon (about 1/2-inch), seeds removed
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • 2 jalapenos or 3 serrano chiles, stem and seeds removed, chopped fine
  • Juice of 1/2 lime (2 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation:

Place the watermelon, corn, and chiles in a medium bowl.

Mix together the lime juice, brown sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves. Pour over the watermelon mixture.

Gently toss until everything is coated with the liquid.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour for the flavors to meld.

Serve with corn chips or as a condiment for tacos, burritos, turkey burgers, etc.
