This is the second time I have made this. This time I used 11/2 teaspoons less of the balsamic vinegar and liked it much better. I am not normally a watermelon eater but enjoy this. We ate it with tortilla chips and cinnamon pita chips.

It was a very healthy and delicious recipe. I took it to an outdoor summer party and it went fast.
Kevin Koch
Love it; altered recipe to use homegrown green onions and jalapenos. Addictive.
Drew Morales
Just adding a second photo – I swapped garlic for sea salt and Anaheim for jalapeno – loved this combination!

This is by far the best Fruit salsa I have made and it is quick and easy to boot! I took a little risk by serving the to the family but they could not get enough! Everyone loved it and I bet you will too!

my new favorite thing. as another rater stated, the balsamic really works (especially since i had a particularly sweet melon). this literally melts in your mouth. now i’m on a quest to find/create a recipe that will shine with this.
Mary Olson
Too bland for me. I added a little salt, half a jalapeño, a teaspoon of lime juice and a couple slices of mango and that made it much better.

Delicious! Perfect as is. These flavors don’t automatically come to mind as belonging together but boy, does this recipe work. Thank you!!
Andrew Weaver
I made this for a party and everyone loved it. No one had any idea it was watermelon – just looking at it you’d think it was tomatoes. It was loved.
Christopher Zhang
Super simple to make. Thinking of serving it with cinnamon pita chips next time.
Roger Shields
Very simple recipe. Hubby was giving me weird looks as I told him the ingredients to add, but then after tasting, couldn’t stop him finishing the whole bowl!! Tastes very refreshing! I think some cucumber and coriander would go well as well. Will be making this again.
Mark Scott
yum yum yum even my granddaughter and dog loved it
Amanda Wu
Adjusted this just a bit based on what I had on hand and used green onions instead of regular onions, omitted the garlic and used two jalepeno peppers. Wow! Talk about a hit! This is a keeper for sure! Perfect balance of hot and sweet!
Anthony Carter
Interesting, but just OK.
Darrell Hernandez
Quite different, but a bit bland for me. So I spiced it up a with some jalapenos and more garlic salt. Here’s the portions I used which yielded enough for a decent sized party (20-30 people). 1/2 small watermelon (8C) 1 anaheim pepper (3/4C) 1 jalapeno pepper (1/4C)

I love this recipe and was so surprised by it! The first time I made it we just experimented and ate it with homemade tortilla chips. We used the left over’s the following night to pour over grilled Cod.. and what a hit! It will be a staple in my fruit salsa group!
James Torres
Amazing – and works well using strawberries in addition to the watermelon (which tends to make it soppy).
Kelly Mclean
This was awesome! Had some left over watermelon and didn’t know what to expect. I used Hatch Chile since that is what I had. Yummm!
Michelle Ballard
This tasted fantastic and a great start for a watermelon salsa. I personally tweaked the recipe. I substituted the chile with half a habanero (which amounted to less than a tablespoon) and filled up to the remaining 3 tablespoons with green bell pepper for color and texture. I also added a 1/8 tsp of nutmeg. I personally thought the salsa was slightly too vinegary, so maybe next time I will reduce to 1 1/2 tbsp balsamic. Overall, fantastic recipe!
Raven Mora
This is excellent. Good way to use watermelon.
Natasha Dougherty
This was really delicious, I will def make again although Im going to use some other reviewers suggestions and add some lime juice and cilantro, maybe try another type of pepper. I cant wait to bring this to some upcoming cookouts this summer.
