Step 1
Start by chopping the melon, tomatoes, cucumber, and onion into bite-sized pieces and toss them together in a bowl. Next, add in some chopped cilantro and diced jalapeno for a little kick. Season everything with salt, pepper, and a pinch of chili powder to bring out the flavors. Give the salsa a good squeeze of fresh lime juice and mix it all up until everything is well combined. Pop the bowl into the fridge and let it chill for at least an hour so the flavors can meld. If you can, give it a gentle stir every 15 minutes or so to keep everything evenly mixed. When it’s ready, take it out and enjoy!

Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The salsa may release some juice over time, so give it a good stir before serving again. Avoid freezing, as it can affect the texture.
