This Spicy Watermelon Salsa is so good and can be made in your Vitamix in about 5 minutes!
I always seemed to have left-over watermelon whenever I would buy one. When I used to get the big, huge ones, we'd eat about half of it until everyone was tired of watermelon, and I'd have to cut up and store the other half in the refrigerator.
This is why I started buying the smaller, "sugar baby" watermelons and they are just the right size for us. But if you ever end up with extra like I used to, this is the perfect recipe to make with it.
All you have to do is cut up the watermelon and veggies and put everything in your Vitamix and it's ready to enjoy in a matter of minutes.
In this recipe, I substituted the tomatoes, which are the main ingredient in salsa recipes, with fresh watermelon. It gives it the perfect balance of ever-so-slightly sweet watermelon and the spicy heat from the jalapenos.

This easy, clean eating recipe is raw, vegan, gluten-free and paleo-friendly.
