Bekah was perusing cookbooks as she likes to do, sort of keeping on the lookout for fruit recipes for my series (did you know that this blog is a family project? ~smile~), and she saw a recipe for Fire and Ice Salsa. Watermelon, strawberries, jalapeño peppers...sounded intriguing!
Three of us loved this salsa!
We ate it alongside slices of rotisserie chicken, as suggested in the cookbook. (Yummy as a side dish!)
And then we tried it with some tortilla chips. (Yummy as an appetizer too!)
I am already making plans to serve Fire and Ice Salsa as an appetizer at a dinner party in a couple of weeks. This will be an all ladies' gathering, mostly mothers and daughters, and we think that this salsa will fill the bill as "girl food." For the record, it was Ron who did not care for it, so maybe it is "girl food."
Here is my very-slightly-tweaked-from-the-original recipe...
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups chopped seeded watermelon

Do you like "fire" in your cooking? How hot do you like it?
Oh, what an exciting combination of flavors! Looks so pretty too!
ReplyDeleteI do like a little bit of heat in my food. This salsa looks and sounds like a perfect fit.
ReplyDeleteI would love this salsa, I like a slight hint of heat in salsa so I might use half the amount of jalapeno. Your dinner plate looks so beautiful, colorful, and healthful. xo
ReplyDeleteNow this looks really interesting and one to try! I will!
ReplyDeleteOn a different subject but related, did you ever do a post about pizza dough? I remember making some not long ago from someone's blog, I think, or maybe Pinterest. It may have been a make the night before. If it was you, can you let me know where? I even did a search on your blog as I thought it might have been in your bread series. :-)
