Steak Taco w/Melon SalsaHere's an approximation of what went into my salsa...
Melon Salsa
equal amounts diced watermelon, honeydew, and cantaloupe
1 mango
1 avocado
2 jalapenos, diced
3 scallions, sliced
2-3T mint, chopped
2-3T cilantro
juice of 1/2 lime
1t Smart Balance Omega Oil
Combine all ingredients and serve! I prepared everything (except the avocado) the night before and let it hang out in the fridge so the flavors could meld. Just prior to guests arriving, I took it out of the fridge so it could come closer to room temp and add the chopped avocado. This would go well served alongside almost any protein!

Melon salsa? Such a good idea!
You're hilarious. Love this idea.
I love fruity salsas!! This was such a fun meal idea
wow! Steak tacos!!
I love that you use three different melons and mango and avocado here too! Sounds awesome with steak tacos! Going to check out the melon mondays I missed!
Mmmm I have a melon in the kitchen right now that's just begging to be sliced open!
Reading about these unusual melon recipes has been so fun! I love different flavor combos. It motivates me to get a little crazy with my cooking :)
I just started liking watermelon recently and am still iffy on cantelope and honeydew (i am weird) BUT that salsa on the tacos sounds refreshing and incredible. Great recipe.
Melon salsa sounds so good. I've had watermelon salsa before and really enjoyed it, so I'm sure I'd love this.
You are Queen of Melons! you just come up with one brilliant melon recipe after another! This would also be so good just on top of a nice crusty roll...
Are you allowed to use any melons? I bought this small kind called a "sprite melon" the other day, and it was kinda like a pear flavor... pretty interesting. Just a little FYI.
Fruit salsa's are awesome with protein, so high five to that :)
Yum! You're a a genius my dear :)
I want a post about your tri!!! :D
OOOOH I Want your salsa! Maybe I need to start this idea of melon mondays, before it goes out of season. I threw some melon into my juicer though...does that count? ;)
I'm a fan of trader joe's mango salsa so I have a feeling I'm going to LOVE this!
Looks great! I've never made melon salsa before!!
That must have been some meal! This salsa sounds delicious.
What a pretty salsa!
I'm such a sucker for the sweet and savory flavors in this! Sounds delicious!
Great idea! I never had a fruity salsa... I think I would like it though. The flavors seem to all go together nicely.
melon mondays :)
it is Whatevs in the kitchen Wednesday here.

I love this trilogy. You used melon so innovatively. I can imagine how good the fresh melony taste was with the steak.
I think I have all the ingredients to make this. Sounds delicious!
You crack me up with your Melon Mondays." Salsa is an excellent idea.
I've loved all these recipes Shannon!
Thanks for sharing :D
Love the idea of using melon for salsa...will definitely try it...yummie!
How interesting! I would normally never think to use melon in salsa, but this looks so colorful and enticing, I may just have to try it.
That melon salsa looks and sounds great!
