Easy Watermelon Mango Salsa

Summer is here! Break out the watermelon and enjoy this delicious Easy Watermelon Mango Salsa!

Hi, friends! It’s been a long time. Winter had a tight grip on me. This was my first winter living in the northern tier of the US, and it was C-O-L-D! I’m not talking 30 degrees either! I’m talking about (negative) – 65 degree wind chill cold. Elsa’s ice castle would have been a summer retreat!

I feel like Olaf singing about summer now! Bring it on! I am kicking off the first day by sharing my Easy Watermelon Mango Salsa.

I first made this delicious watermelon mango salsa and shared with it my friends at the National Military Family Association for Memorial Day a few years ago. It pairs wonderfully with chips or with fish, shrimp, or chicken.

Let’s talk about the easy part of this salsa! It only has 5 delicious ingredients.

Watermelon

Watermelon is such a hydrating food for hot summers! Did you know it has more lycopene that any other fruit or vegetable? Lycopene is a strong antioxidant that can protect you from chronic disease.

Mango

Mango packs a Vitamin C punch by supplying 100% of your daily needs in just one cup! It also will give you 35% of your daily Vitamin A.

Cilantro

Cilantro is an herb your either love or hate. I personally love it! It adds great flavor and adds some Vitamin A, folate, Vitamin K, and Vitamin C, to your dish.

Jalapeno

Do you know that jalapenos can boost your metabolism? The capsaicin compound in the jalapenos has been shown in some studies to boost it by 4-5%.

Lime

Low in calorie and packed with flavor, limes provide Vitamin C and small amounts of other nutrients.

I teach Child Nutrition through a university. One I teach Child Nutrition through a university. One of the first assignments I give is to have students reflect on the “food rules” they grew up with and if they still use them today. 🍦 It helps them see how food has impacted them throughout their life. 🍦 It helps them reflect on the helpfulness or danger of those rules for themselves and their families. 🍦It creates awareness so they don’t put those messages onto other people’s children whom they may work with in the future. 🍦 Children do NOT need food rules! They are naturally intuitive eaters that can self regulate. Your job is to supply what and when they eat. They determine how much! 👉 So did you have food rules growing up? What were they? How do they impact you today?
