Optional Ingredients

• 1-2 teaspoon honey

Kitchen tools you might find useful:

• Wooden cutting board
• Non-slip mixing bowls
• Chef’s knife
• Wire whisk

Directions

Dice red onion, watermelon, mango, and pineapples and add to a large mixing bowl. Stir gently to combine, taking care not to bruise the fruit.

Optional: If you like spicy salsa, add 1 diced jalapeño to the mix.

Squeeze juice from limes into a small mixing bowl.

TIP: For easier juicing, cut each lime in half, then use a fork to stab the flesh of the lime before squeezing. This loosens up the fruit and releases the juice.

Whisk lime juice together with chopped cilantro.

Optional: Add 1-2 teaspoons honey for a little extra sweetness. Add more or less honey depending on the size of your batch of salsa).

Pour lime juice over fruit in large mixing bowl and toss until well coated.

Enjoy immediately or store in refrigerator until needed.
