This fruity salsa is versatile - great to scoop up with plantain or cassava chips for an island-inspired appetizer, or served as a side garnish sauce for grilled chicken, pork or even ham. The addition of pepper and onion balances the sweetness of the berries well. The quick salsa tastes best soon after preparing it, before the berries release their juices too much, so make only as much as you'll use in a single sitting.

@GenXmuse  I bought feta on Monday  with the intention of making a salad but the watermelon did not look good. Instead I made Greek shrimp with feta that DiAnne posted back in July. Delicious.

 

I posted onions because I had made a French Onion Chicken recipe last night very tasty.

.

 Hopefully, the watermelon will be fresh this week and I will try your recipe! Thx.
