This Watermelon Mint Salsa is lightly sweet, refreshing and a huge crowd pleaser. It's time to get creative and think outside the box when it comes to salsa! Perfect for your next barbecue or cookout.
This watermelon salsa is simple to make, healthy and delicious. How ridiculously adorable is that little watermelon bowl?
This has a great presentation and I should know, I have already brought it to several summer parties. It looks fancy, but it' really isn't's so easy to prepare. I love when that happens.
If you are looking for more healthy summer desserts, you will love these Pina Colada Popsicles, Matcha Coconut Ice Cream and definitely my Low Carb No Bake Lemon Mousse Pie!
Why You Should Make this Watermelon Mint Salsa
I must be on a watermelon/mint kick these days because I make my Watermelon Mint Slush 3-4 times a week. It is my favorite combination these days.
It's so refreshing and has the perfect amount of (natural) sweetness. I make my Tropical Fruit Salsa from The Everything Wheat-Free Diet Cookbook very often (on page 173 to be exact) but I wanted to try another fruity version of salsa this time.
This not only has a beautiful presentation for all of your summer parties, but I love offering healthy options too. This will be ready in 30 minutes and is definitely best served fresh.
