Pioneer Woman Watermelon Pico De Gallo (Watermelon Salsa)

Submitted by CHEFDLH

"This is a chunky, dip your chips in, salsa. Although it has jalapeno in it, it is a deliciously addictive refreshing bite, but not a traditional blended salsa. Ree Drummond, Pioneer Woman, explains it best with her comment "First of all, I endured great agony over what to call this unbelievably delicious and delightful concoction that’s as scrumptious with a bowl of tortilla chips as it is served on top of grilled chicken or fish. Most normal people would call it Watermelon Salsa. And technically, that would be correct. Salsa, after all, is technically a garnish or sauce made with uncooked vegetables or fruit. But salsa, to me, is…well, salsa. Pureed. Liquidy. Saucy. The soupy stuff you dip your chips in. Now, Pico de Gallo, on the other hand, is chunky. Colorful. Lovely, gorgeous, and fresh." Choose for yourself. Either way people will scarf it up at a potluck or summer party. Enjoy! ChefDLH"
