The Best Vegan Watermelon Salsa Recipe
This watermelon salsa is sweet, tangy, spicy, and full of flavor. Everything gets tossed into a bowl and is ready to eat in around 20-30 minutes!
Ingredients
- 2 cups watermelon, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
- 1/2 cup mango, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
- 1/2 cup cucumber, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1/2 jalapeno, finely diced
- 2 tbsp fresh basil, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
- Zest of half of a lime
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 1/2 tsp agave nectar, light
- 1 tsp tajin, plus more for garnishing
- 1/2 avocado, small diced
- 1/2 cup favorite vegan feta cheese, plus more for garnishing (I love using Trader Joe's or Violife's!)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients, except for the vegan feta cheese and avocado, to a large mixing bowl. Gently stir until evenly combined.
- Now add the avocado and crumble the feta into the bowl. Try not to crumble the feta into teeny-tiny pieces because I find after stirring the salsa, the feta sometimes melts away instead of staying in little chunks. Gently fold everything together until the salsa is well combined.
- Garnish with another crumbling of vegan feta cheese, a heavy sprinkling of tajin, and a few small cilantro leaves. Then, enjoy with your favorite tortilla chips! I love using blue corn tortilla chips for this particular salsa. Or, try serving the salsa in your favorite vegan fish tacos!
