First off, Watermelon is rich in fibre, which acts as a sort of
natural toothbrush and can give your teeth a good scrubbing
while you chew. This helps prevent the buildup of dental
plaques and lowers the risk of tooth decay while also cleaning
away food debris and other particles
Looking for a fun way to enjoy watermelon? Try this awesome watermelon salsa recipe!
Perfect with grilled chicken for tacos or served with salty tortilla chips, this salsa also has
enough watermelon left over to make the salad in the recipe above!
INGREDIENTS:
● 1/2 seedless watermelon
● 1 large diced mango
● 1/2 diced red onion
● 2 zested and juiced limes
● 1 seeded and diced jalapeno
● salt
● 1/2 c. chopped cilantro
● tortilla chips for serving
PROCESS:
Begin by slicing the watermelon in half lengthwise, then trimming a little off the bottom so
that the melon will sit flush on the table. Next, scoop out the watermelon, but make sure that
you don’t scoop through the bottom. When you have the watermelon bits out, go ahead and
dice them into small pieces.
Next, put the watermelon, mango, onion, jalapeno, lime juice and zest, a pinch of salt, and
cilantro into a mixing bowl so that you can combine them. Last, spoon the salsa into the
watermelon bowl and pop the whole thing into the fridge for at least 30 minutes before
serving. This will allow the flavors to mix better. Serve and enjoy!
