Casaba Melon and Mint Salsa
All these crazy new melon varieties have been showing up at the market lately. I was excited to try one, so I grabbed a casaba melon. I loved the flavor of this thing, it sort of reminded me of a cross between a honeydew and a cucumber. I also thought the stark white flesh would look great in a salsa. I served the salsa on some grilled meat along with some veggies for a super easy and light summer dinner.
The bounty from the store. ย How was I NOT gonna make salsa out of this?
I love that bright white flesh next to the red chile.
Red onion, mint, and garlic, then some lime to finish it off.
This was great on some grilled sirloin! ย Spicy, sweet, and refreshing.
The perfect summertime grilled dinner.
