#1,561: Melon Salsa

I pretty much love any type of salsa, and this recipe did not disappoint.  I really, really enjoyed this and it was so summery and refreshing.  I would definitely make this again.  In fact, I'm going to take the leftover salsa and eat it in lettuce leaves as a healthier option!

3 cups diced ripe yet firm cantaloupe
2 cups diced fresh pineapple
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1/2 red onion, diced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper

In a large bowl, mix melon, pineapple, bell pepper, onion, ginger, jalapeño and lemon or lime juice. Stir well, cover and chill for at least 30 minutes or up to 6 hours.

Just before serving, stir in mint and oil and season with salt and pepper. Serve cold.
