Ingredients

2 cups seedless watermelon, chopped

½ red onion, thinly sliced

1 jalapeño, finely chopped

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

Juice of 1 lime

½ teaspoon salt

Optional: cucumber, mint, avocado, mango


Instructions

1. Chop watermelon into small cubes.

2. Finely dice onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and garlic.

3. Combine all in a mixing bowl.

4. Add lime juice and salt. Toss gently.

5. Chill for 30+ minutes.

6. Serve with chips, tacos, or grilled meats.

Notes

Prep components separately up to 24 hours ahead.

Avoid freezing—texture will break down.

Add mango or avocado for a twist.

Use within 1–2 days for best texture.
