Watermelon Salsa

I love to try new recipe's. This one may sound a little strange, but is very refreshing. I made this little number for a friends Birthday Celebration. She happens to love Watermelon and Salsa. She loved this! It will definitely play with your taste buds.


Ingredients
2 cups seeded finely chopped watermelon
1/2 cup finely chopped peeled cucumber
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup finely chopped sweet red pepper
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
1 tablespoon minced fresh mint
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon lime juice
Baked tortilla chip scoops
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the melon, cucumber, onion, peppers and herbs. Drizzle with honey and lime juice; gently toss to coat.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve with chips. Yield: 3 cups.
Editor's Note: When cutting hot peppers, disposable gloves are recommended. Avoid touching your face.
