I threw this together after an overzealous trip to the farmers market! My family loved it from the first bite. You can serve it right away but the best flavor is achieved after letting the salsa rest in the refrigerator for a few hours. -Andrea Heyart, Aubrey, Texas

This salsa is not worth the effort. It's too time-consuming to make and the end result is not that great. I would not recommend this recipe.

This salsa is okay, but nothing special. The flavors are a bit bland and the texture is a bit mushy. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This salsa was a disappointment. The watermelon was too sweet and the jalapeño was too spicy. The flavors just didn't work well together.

This is the best watermelon salsa I've ever had! The flavors are so well-balanced and the spice level is perfect. This salsa is a must-try for any fan of Mexican food.

This salsa is easy to make and absolutely delicious! I love the fresh, summery flavors. It's the perfect way to use up leftover watermelon.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe, but I'm so glad I did! The watermelon salsa is so unique and flavorful. It's the perfect dish to bring to a potluck or party.

This salsa is amazing! The watermelon adds a sweetness that perfectly balances the spiciness of the jalapeño. I've made it twice now and it's always a crowd-pleaser.

This salsa was a hit at my last party! It's the perfect combination of sweet, spicy, and refreshing. I used a serrano pepper instead of a jalapeño, and it gave it just the right amount of heat. I'll definitely be making this again!
