Homegrown cantaloupe is absolutely delicious and this is the second year in a row that I have had great success with growing cantaloupe.


My knife sliced through the melon like it was butter. And the taste is sweet and juicy. I may never buy a cantaloupe from a store again. And I will certainly be growing them again next year!


Usually I just chop the melon up and we eat with our fingers like it’s candy.

On this day, a bag of tortilla chips was screaming my name. So I added a few ingredients to the melon and the salsa was fresh, delicious and totally addicting.

Cantaloupe Salsa

  • 1 cantaloupe, peeled, de-seeded and chopped into small bite sized pieces
  • 1/4 – 1/2 of a red onion, chopped fine
  • 1 yellow or red pepper, chopped fine – I used my one and only yellow pepper that grew this year.
  • 1-2 Tbsp pineapple sage herb, chopped fine – You could use mint or parsley.
  • juice from 1 lime
  • jalapeno, chopped fine – this is optional, depending on your heat tolerance.

Combine all of the ingredients and mix together.

This would go well on top of grilled chicken , or grilled salmon, or grilled shrimp.

But on this day we ate the salsa with tortilla chips.


However you decide to eat Cantaloupe Salsa, please Enjoy!

    I’m very impressed by your home grown cantaloupe – it’s beautiful! Unfortunately I will have to use cantaloupe bought from the market, but I will definitely try your yummy salsa!

    Homegrown canteloupe *is* the best. I’ve never tried canteloup salsa though. Sounds amazing. And I’ve never met a salsa I didn’t love so I’m going to have to try this one. WOuld love to have you join me over at Vegetarian Foodie Fridays with this. Have a great day!
