Very different and so super good!! The cold watermelon is just wonderful with the hot jalapenos and the zippy lime added another taste sensation! Very easy recipe to follow and so quick to make. I served this with a chicken breast sauted in butter and a big pina' colada. Thanks for this recipe Rhonda O!!

I am always looking for a new and interesting taste sensation. This was it. Really liked the cool/icy-hot taste. Went well with our Zaar Cookathon/ 4th of July menu. Thanks for a recipe that shakes things up a bit.

Yum!!!!!! A wonderful side to grilled chicken. Salsa has a great double kick. Nice and cool but yet zingy! I am going to try this with a grilled shrimp next.

This was great with my grilled shrimp. I replaced garlic powder with fresh garlic and extra lime juice as we like the kick but perfect summer salsa.

Definitely an interesting combo! I thought it was good, and so did other people, but it definitely needs more heat. Maybe I'll add more peppers next time.
