Grilled Watermelon Salsa
A unique, yet refreshing fresh salsa. Great for taco tuesday, or a great side dish
Ingredients
- 1/4-1/2 Medium Sized Watermelon
- 1/4 Cup Melted Honey Butter
- 1-2 Tbsp Sweet BBQ Rub
- 1/2 Diced Yellow Onion
- 1 Diced Jalapeno
- Juice of Lime to Taste About 1-2 Limes
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 Small Bunch of Finely Chopped Cilantro
Instructions
- Cut the watermelon into disks about 1 1/4 inch thick. Cut each disk into 4 triangles. You will need anywhere from 6-8 triangles for the recipe. Leave the rind on each triangle of watermelon. Preheat your grill to 450 degrees.
- Brush both sides of each triangle of watermelon with melted honey butter. Sprinkle both sides of the triangles of watermelon with just a touch of your favorite BBQ dry rub. I highly recommended something sweet such as my Sweet Paprika Dry Rub. If you don’t have a BBQ rub, a simple sprinkle of brown sugar will do.
- When your grill is preheated, place each triangle directly on the grate. Close the lid and let the watermelon cook for about 2-2 1/2 minutes on each side. You are basically just getting grill marks. Open the lid of the grill and remove the watermelon and let cool. At this point the watermelon is a delicious snack if you don’t want to make the salsa.
- Once the watermelon has cooled, cut it off of the rind and dice into small chunks. You will need 4 cups of watermelon. Discard the rinds. Placed the 4 cups of diced watermelon into a mixing bowl and add the other ingredients. Start with the juice of just 1 lime, and add more after if you feel like it needs more lime flavor. Enjoy! This goes great on tortilla chips.
