Here’s a Mediterranean spin on pico de gallo you’ll be making on repeat. This raw diced relish features melon, cucumbers, and bell peppers and is flavored with fresh mint and sweet-hot Aleppo pepper flakes. The sweetness from the watermelon is a lovely contrast to the crunchy veggies, resulting in a refreshing dip or topper showcasing your summer produce.
Watermelon Relish Tips
When mixing up this delish relish, keep these tips from our Test Kitchen in mind.
- Enjoy Immediately: Watermelon contains a lot of, well, water. In order to enjoy this Watermelon Relish in prime state, it’s best to make and serve right away to avoid the relish pooling a lot of liquid.
- Prepping Ahead: If you don’t want to have to be chopping veggies in front of guests, you could prep and chill the ingredients separately and stir them together just before serving.
- Herb Swaps: If you’re not a fan of mint, you could make this Watermelon Relish with fresh snipped basil, cilantro, or parsley.
What to Serve with Watermelon Relish
We love eating this refreshing condiment as a toast topper with some creamy burrata cheese. It would be great for snacking with tortilla chips or on a charcuterie board. You can also try making it a part of your main meal and enjoying with grilled chicken or fish tacos.
