Watermelon Salsa!

Watermelon Salsa
by [irulan]
Here’s a recipe to bid the summer farewell with. One bite of this fruity salsa will remind you of the sun and sitting by a pool. It’s great for parties and get-togethers. However, never tell people what it is before they try it. It looks so much like tomato salsa that most won’t know the difference until they’ve eaten it. This is not cruel trickery. It’s just that most people scrunch their nose at the words “watermelon” and “salsa” together.

When you make this recipe, keep in mind that you can adjust the amounts of various ingredients to personal taste. The only ingredient you want to be particularly careful with is the vinegar. Too much of that is not, my friends, a good thing.

½ of a watermelon, diced
1 mango, diced (canned mango also works)
1 jalapeno pepper
1 red onion, diced
½ cup apple cider vinegar
Lime juice (from 2 fresh limes)
¼ cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt
¼ cup olive oil (not extra virgin)

Put all ingredients in a bowl, and adjust to your liking.
