Summer Fruit Salsa with Melons and Jicama

(1)0 Comments

A trio of melons creates a crisp salsa with tropical flair in this delicious condiment that pairs perfectly with grain bowls, veggie burgers, or baked tortilla chips. Thin strips of jicama add a crunchy element to each bite while jalapeno peppers bring the heat. This unique recipe is a delicious change from traditional store-bought salsas and will surely become a staple in your house when a dish needs an extra boost of fresh flavor.
