Spicy Watermelon Salsa

This is a spicy-sweet salsa that starts off cool and ends in heat. It's hot, but very refreshing. I keep the seeds in the peppers for maximum heat. This was a prize-winning recipe at our neighbor's classic Cinco de Mayo party.

Ingredients

• 6 cups cubed watermelon, divided
• 1 serrano chile pepper
• 0.5 cup salsa verde (such as Herdez®)
• 1 serrano chile pepper, minced
• 1 teaspoon taco seasoning mix
• salt to taste

Steps

1. Place 3 cups watermelon and 1 whole serrano chile pepper in a blender; blend on the liquefy setting until sauce is smooth.
2. Mix remaining 3 cups watermelon, salsa verde, minced serrano chile pepper, and taco seasoning together in a bowl. Pour watermelon sauce over watermelon mixture; toss to coat. Season salsa with salt.
