Notes
This "salsa" is sweet and crunchy and great on it's own or as a topping. My favorite is to serve with tortilla chips or corn chips! Or with your favorite protein like steak or tofu or tempeh!
This recipe would be great for not only hami melons but its cousins like cantaloupe, honeydew, canary melon, piel de sapo melon and more. Especially if you accidentally cut them open when they're underripe, this is a great way to turn up the flavor!
