Remember this salsa?
It now has a sibling.
It’s a little deceiving. It’s so sweet.
Yet so hot.
Well, not that hot. It’s definitely tolerable. At least to me.
This idea came to me a few nights ago when I was cutting cantaloupe for my kids – I couldn’t get it off my mind.
I honestly can’t tell you why I absolutely had to use habanero pepper but it works.
It’s the bomb.com.
Oooohh that was cheesy.
You could definitely skip using the food processor and chop by hand, which will give you a chunkier salsa like a pico.
You need this in your life.

This is very interesting! Sweet and spicy, sounds yummy!
Wow. I can almost taste the sweetness of the cantaloupe with the tomatoes in this spicy salsa.
Shea, this salsa looks sensational! Your choice of cantaloupe in this fruit and pepper version is creative and refreshing. I’ve got to run this through my kitchen. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
