Cantaloupe Salsa
Don't have cilantro? Leave it out.
Prep Tip: Chopping melon can be messy. For easy clean up, place a cutting board inside a cookie sheet that has a side. Empty the juice that collects into the sink or pour into a glass and drink it.
Change it Up: For extra spice, add 1 finely diced jalapeno pepper and 1/4 teaspoon chili powder.
Nutrition Tip: Cantaloupe is a good source of Vitamin A. Remember to eat your orange fruits and veggies.
