It was just OK. Somehow the flavors just didn't meld somehow to my taste. Won't make again. Read More

I made this recipe and I loved it. I love all kinds of salsa with many different ingredients. This is good with chicken or pork I also put some on top of my salads for a refreshing change. I like hot spicy food so I used more hot peppers. I will definitely make again! Read More

Made for Recipe Group. I used parsley instead of cilantro as I am not a fan of cilantro. A little too much melon but nice flavors overall. Paired well with the grilled Unbelievable Chicken! Thanks for the recipe. Read More

Thank you everyone for trying this. I made this again yesterday and substituted a diced red bell pepper for the Roma tomato. It added a wonderful crispness and sweetness to the salad. Enjoy Read More

We thought this was Fabulous! Served it over a spicy-grilled white fish and it was the perfect accompaniment. Word to the wise - this makes A LOT! So unless you're feeding a crowd consider halving the recipe. Read More

I halved this recipe in an attempt to salvage what was not a very flavorful melon. Great results!! Since my cantaloupe was not very sweet I added a small squirt of agave syrup. Also a sprinkling of cayenne for more punch. We ate the salsa with tortilla chips and served it on homemade chicken/spinach burgers. Read More

Recipe Group Selection: 27 July 2013 Once again I am behind on making the recipe group pick - but so glad I tried this one. Loved the combination of the fruits veggies and spiciness of the jalapeños. I served this this flour tortilla chips and guacamole tortilla chips. It was great with both but I can see where this would lend excellent flavor for chicken pork or fish dishes. With fresh cantaloupe still in season I will be making this recipe again. Thank you Theresa787 for sharing your recipe. Read More
