Cantaloupe Lime Salsa Recipe

If you’ve never tried a melon-based salsa, you’re in for a real treat. This is seriously the best salsa ever (though I admit, I’m biased). It’s super easy to make, and it goes fast, so make more than you need. I recommend doubling or tripling the recipe for a large party. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours, so there’s just no way it won’t get eaten.

This salsa recipe is thick and chunky, so I recommend serving it with the scoop-style tortilla chips just to make it easier to scoop up a lot with each bite. You know what else this salsa pairs well with? Fish! Serve it alongside some grilled shrimp or any mild-flavored fish or seafood dish, and your guests will gobble it up.

Here’s the recipe for Cantaloupe Lime Salsa. While you can use canned tomatoes, I really recommend fresh ones. Canned tomatoes make it a little runny, and it seems to break down faster in the fridge. Plus, the chunky fruits and veggies just look nicer, don’t you agree?

If you have extra cantaloupe on hand, try this yummy and healthy Cantaloupe Green Smoothie.
