Cucumber Melon Salsa

Diced melon, cucumber, red onion, and parsley served as a salsa in a white bowl.

This Cucumber Melon Salsa is refreshing, sweet and tangy and is the perfect summer topping for fish tacos, grilled chicken, and pulled pork. It’s a fresh, flavorful recipe that highlights The Olive Tap’s Citrus Habanero Olive Oil and Cucumber Honeydew White Riserva Balsamic Vinegar. It’s also a fantastic fruit salsa to serve with tortilla chips for an easy appetizer.

Ingredients:

Directions:

Add the melon, cucumber, onion, pepper, and parsley into a bowl. Combine the Citrus Habanero Olive Oil and Cucumber Honeydew Riserva (for more heat, add more olive oil) in a separate small bowl and whisk to combine. Pour over salsa ingredients and gently toss. Season with salt to taste. If not using immediately refrigerate until ready to use

I served this salsa on top of pulled pork and it was delicious, but it would also be great on seafood, tacos, chicken, or salads. Or just eat it with tortilla chips. The list goes on and on!
