Cantaloupe Salsa

This is the second year in a row I have had great success with growing cantaloupe. Homegrown cantaloupe is delicious.


My knife sliced through the melon like it was butter. And the taste is sweet and juicy. I may never buy a cantaloupe from a store again. And I will certainly be growing them again next year!


Usually I just chop the melon up and we eat with our fingers like it's candy.

On this day, a bag of tortilla chips was screaming my name. So I added a few ingredients to the melon and the salsa was fresh, delicious and totally addicting.


Cantaloupe Salsa

• 1 cantaloupe, peeled, de-seeded and chopped into small bite sized pieces
• 1/4 - 1/2 of a red onion, chopped fine
• 1 yellow or red pepper, chopped fine - I used my one and only yellow pepper that grew this year.
• 1-2 Tbsp pineapple sage herb, chopped fine - You could use mint or parsley.
• juice from 1 lime
• jalapeno, chopped fine - this is optional, depending on your heat tolerance.

Combine all of the ingredients and mix together.

This would go well on top of grilled chicken , or grilled salmon, or grilled shrimp.

But on this day we ate the salsa with tortilla chips.

However you decide to eat Cantaloupe Salsa, please Enjoy!
