Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the diced watermelon, cucumber, red onion, and minced jalapeño pepper.
  2. Add the chopped mint leaves, basil leaves, lime juice, and honey to the bowl. Gently toss the ingredients together until well combined.
  3. Season the salsa with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
