I wanted to make a nice light, fresh salsa for the summer to enjoy with some chips and margarita days on the patio. This recipe was the perfect mix of sweet with a hint of heat. The crunch of the red onion and the smoothness of the watermelon and pineapple really makes a great balance of texture.

Directions: Dice the watermelon, red onion, and place in a bowl. Sprain the pineapple tidbits but reserve the juice for use later. Add the pineapple to the watermelon mixture. Sprinkle with the salt. Mix in the lime juice and pineapple juice and stir till fully incorporated.

This sounds great. Love both flavors, so this sounds like a win-win. Happy Tuesday. 🙂
Thank you! The flavors blended well together! Hope you have a great day!
I feel like I would just eat this up with a spoon! hahahahaha Sounds SO good!
When the chips run out you will! 😉
Yum! I saw your pic on Instagram over the weekend. It looked soooo good.
Thank you. It was good with chips but also on the chicken. I’m excited for leftovers! 😉
hmmmmmmmmmmm… I don’t know about this, but I am a little intrigued……………….
It us a weird combo but it works!!!
Easy and delicious! Pinning it.
Thank you! Yes very easy and not a lot of ingredients!

Woohoo! Hope you like it, I devoured it. So light and fresh.
Sounds super tasty and refreshing! Mmmmmmmm I love summer food
this sounds like the perfect summer salad. yum!
It is really light and perfect for patio snacks!
This sounds delicious! I love sweeter salsas, so this sounds like something I would love! Perfect for summer!
You would love this then! It was sweet with a little bit of crunch. Perfect summer dip.
I love this!!! Sounds so amazing and summery!
Don’t be afraid to try dipping sliced cucumbers, or celery, in that or any salsa! In fact, you’d be surprised how many Mexican restaurants will bring you a small plate of sliced celery for your ‘chips and dip.’ (if they can make a bloody Mary, they can supply celery.) 🙂
This would also be great with grilled chicken or mild white fish. Yum! Thanks for sharing!
Yes, that is a great idea! I had it on top of Grilled Chicken and I really like it. Thank you.
Oh gosh, lady! Every time I visit your blog, I add another recipe to my “must make soon” list. I swear….THIS one will happen!
Haha! Sorry and you are welcome?! This is worth making it right away! 😉
Yum!!! I love watermelon!
Watermelon is so perfect in the summer too!
I want it now. bring it to me. it’s not like I am too far of a drive!
Girl, I need to plan a visit there because I want to see your city!! Miss you girl!
That looks like such a perfect Summer recipe!
Thank you. It really so easy to throw together too.
This sounds great (and kind of refreshing too). I’ll have to give it a go, I think.
It was very refreshing. Hope you do, i gobbled it down! 😉
I think, from now on, when I don’t know what to eat, I’m just going to think “What would Kerry eat”, and then use one of your recipes. Because yum.
Haha! That is the best compliment ever!
NOMS! I’m all about a good salsa. I’ll have to try this aside from my mango salsa I make! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!!
Ohhh Mango salsa sounds really good too!
This looks so refreshing, and delish!
Thank you. I was really light and refreshing. Perfect for those nights you don’t want to cook but need something.
I love fruit salsa especially mango. This sounds so good too!
Mango is a great idea. Fruit really adds a nice flavor to the spice.
YUM! You seriously have the best recipes… perfect for summer!
Thank you so much! Yes, perfect for the patio days of summer.
You had me at watermelon and pineapple! YUM!!! I am not a huge fruit salsa person but I think I would like this!
Right?! Best flavor combo. I never really did the fruit salsa before but I gobbled this one up.
This looks so light, refreshing, and yummy. I actually have all the ingredients and I am making chicken tonight so I’m def going to give it a try!
You will have to let me know if you try it!
ohh i never thought of making salsa with watermelon! I have some leftover so I need to try this!
Hope you like it! It was such a great mixing of sweet and spice.
Yum – that looks awesome!! And, so light which makes it perfect for hot summer days!
Yes, perfect for a quick snack and the oven doesn’t need to go on! Bonus!
This looks so interesting!!! I would never have thought of pineapple watermelon salsa!
I have been binging on Pineapple lately so it was inevitable it was going to land in a random dish. 😉
drooling. this is perfect for summer!
Thank you. I can see it on many of my porch sittings with a margarita!
This sounds SO good! I always love fruit salsas, but I’ve never tried a watermelon one!
