Watermelon Salsa

Watermelon Salsa: Watermelon is tossed with bright lime juice, fresh cilantro and salty feta for a perfect summer salsa. Pair with Blue Corn Chips for a festive red, white and blue appetizer. 

Can you believe this week we will be celebrating fourth of July?!!!

I feel like I have blinked and summer is half-way over!

While I may not coordinate my wardrobes for the holidays, I love to coordinate my food with the holidays!!

There are so many fabulous ideas floating around for the 4th of July–it so fun to come up with a festive meal plan, but slightly harder to keep the food free from artificial coloring and ingredients–such a bummer!

I tend to lean towards my family’s favorites for the 4th–Papa’s Baked Beans, Grilled Sweet Corn, BBQ Drumsticks, Blueberry Pie Bars, and BLT Pasta Salad.

And of course Watermelon Salsa served with Blue Corn Chips–perfect to showcase Red, White and Blue.

This super simple dip highlights the flavors of summer with watermelon, while creating a beautiful dip that looks extremely festive served with blue corn chips of any kind.

Have you ever tried watermelon with salt before?

Then you know exactly why this dip will work so well!! Watermelon is great in both sweet and savory dips and pairs great with anything salty.

This easy dip is refreshing and quick to throw together! Not to mention, it is unexpected and delightful twist on classic salsa and sure to be a welcome addition to your 4th of July party.
