Spicy watermelon salsa is perfect with chips or as a topping for grilled chicken or fish. Replace tomatoes in salsa with chunks of cool watermelon complemented with fresh cilantro and spicy jalapeno peppers.
During these socially distanced times I suggest individual cups of salsa with a plate of chips. During normal times, serve the salsa in the watermelon rind surrounded by chips.
