Tomato Cantaloupe Salsa

Image and Recipe Copyright © 2003-2008 Jennifer Iserloh

The combo of heat and sweet says summer to me. Cantaloupe sweetens this perky salsa flavored with hot green chilies. If you’re not a fan of the heat, just omit or reduce the amount of chili.

Serves 4-6

Ingredients

4 large plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 1/2 cup chopped cantaloupe
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
2 fresh Serrano or Jalapeño chilies, seeded, minced
Juice of one or two fresh limes, (about 2 tablespoons)
1/4 cup packed chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients. Stir to combine and serve immediately.
