Melon and Cucumber Salsa

Here is another "what the heck is taking up so much room in my fridge?" recipe I came up with. It turned out very well, and was the perfect accompaniment to the spicy jerk chicken I made for dinner that night! I think it would also pair very well with almost any simple grilled (or roasted) chicken breast, pork, or fish recipe.

Melon and Cucumber Salsa

1 C. cantaloupe, cut into small dice

1 C. honeydew melon, cut into small dice

1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into small dice

1 T. grated fresh ginger

1 small shallot, finely chopped

1 large jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped

zest and juice of one lime

1/4 C. cilantro, chopped

1 T. honey

large pinch of kosher salt

Combine all ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Served with jerk chicken and Jamaican rice and peas.
