For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from the serrano peppers before blending and mincing. Adjust the amount of taco seasoning to suit your taste preferences. Serve with tortilla chips, grilled meats, or as a topping for fish tacos. For the best flavor, use a high-quality, fresh salsa verde. If you don't have fresh serranos, you can substitute with other chili peppers of your choice. Jalapenos will be much milder while habaneros will be significantly hotter.

Follow The Directions
01
StepCreate the Spicy Watermelon Base: In a blender, combine 3 cups of cubed watermelon and 1 whole serrano chile pepper. Blend on high speed until the mixture reaches a smooth, sauce-like consistency. (Approximately 2-3 minutes)
02
StepCombine Fresh Ingredients: In a large bowl, gently mix the remaining 3 cups of cubed watermelon, 1/2 cup of salsa verde, 1 minced serrano chile pepper, and 1 teaspoon of taco seasoning until thoroughly combined.
03
StepMarry the Flavors: Pour the blended watermelon-serrano sauce over the fresh watermelon mixture. Gently toss to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated in the vibrant sauce.
04
StepSeason to Perfection: Taste the salsa and season with salt to your preference. Remember that the flavors will meld and intensify as the salsa rests.
05
StepChill and Serve: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This cooling period will also enhance the refreshing quality of the salsa. Serve chilled and enjoy the invigorating flavor explosion!
